Heinrich
Ignaz Franz Biber died three centuries ago, in 1704. He was born in a
town in Bohemia in 1644, and
like
Mozart much
later,
he became closely associated with musical life in Salzburg through
appointments for that city's archbishop. His
Requiem
in F minor is
one of the Baroque Treasures unearthed by the Waltham Singers, with
King Edward VI School standing in for Salzburg Cathedral, and the
Singers supported by the renowned Meridian Sinfonia.
There's
Vivaldi, too, and a Mass by the lesser known Zelanka, an
18th
century
Czech composer at the court of Dresden.
