Adam Václav Michna of Otradovice (1600-1676) is one of the most significant personalitiy of early Czech baroque. While the majority of his works remind us of the music from traditional hymn books, The Czech Lute is written (as the author mentioned) for Holidays, for the Church, at the table, as one wishes, for any time, for pleasure, for devotion, composed and published in 1653. It comes much closer to a modern cycle of love songs.
