The Prague Minster Ensemble was founded in 1990, a time when artistic freedom was revitalized by Czechoslovakia's political independence. This recording presents religious music from Bohemia and Moravia by two prominent composers of the nationalist movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A further piece was contributed by a contemporary composer who personally witnessed the oppression of his homeland during World War II. The compositions by Dvořák, Janáček, and Eben unite in a continuous prayer of thanksgiving, proudly reflecting the enduring power of the Czech tradition of sacred music.
