Jiří Sehnal, Adam Michna of Otradovice - composer: perspectives on seventeenth-century sacred music in Czech lands. Transl. by Judith Fiehler. Olomouc,Palacký University 2016, 236 S. DOI 10.55607/ff.16.24449869. ISBN 978-80-244-4986-9. Summary

Adam Michna z Otradovic (Adam Michna of Otradovice, 1600–1676) was the most important figure of Bohemian music history of the mid-17th century. He lived in the time of the deep political and ecclesiastical changes, an aftermath, in the Bohemian Lands, of the 1620 White Mountain Battle. The events of the Thirty Years’ War have influenced the whole of the early 17th century; nevertheless, music development did not stop. The forcible re-Catholicisation, instigated by the Habsburgs aided in the arrival of new music trends from Italy to Bohemia.
