An educational programme featuring early music.

František Ignác Antonín Tůma (1704-1774) – part 2 of our commemoration of the day he died, 250 years ago. This episode, the last of a two-part special, is dedicated to the Bohemian composer František Ignác Antonín Tůmar.

 

In the first episode, we listened to music from the period when Tůma served under Ferdinand Kinsky in Vienna. During this time, he had the opportunity to study under Austrian composer Johann Joseph Fux. When Kinsky died in 1741, Tůma started working for Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, widow of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. We hear three vocal works that were composed in this period. The Partita in D might also date from the same period.

Tůma stayed on with Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel until her death in 1750. He was rewarded for his service with a high annuity, enabling him to pursue his career as independent artist. From the last phase of his career is his work Sinfonia in C.
