Vladimír Tichý
composer (born 1946)
He first studied at electrotechnical high school and then after graduating (in 1964) he started to work as a constructor. Since he was fifteen years old, he was interested in composition.
He studied at the Academy of Performing Arts in the composition class of Jiří Pauer (1970–1975). He graduated with the 1st symphony for large orchestra. Two month studies at Frank Donatoni composer classes in Italian Siena (1973) and a two year postgraduate course of musical Tudory with K. Risinger (1977–1979) deepened his composition experience.
From 1975 to 1977 he was the head of the musical archival collection at the Academy of Performing Arts and later he started teaching: from 1978 he was teaching composition analysis. At present he is the Vice dean at he same fakulty.
Tichý concentrated mainly on instrumental music. His music feeling is based on tradition. Experiment, improvisation, fortuity or superficiality do not correspond with his creativity. The real base is a dirigent development of his musical ideas. When composing he tries to build the systém on formal segmentation of the composition, hormony and rhythm.
From the previous centurie classics Tichý is interest in Brahm´s for mand musical way of thinkong but h eis also inspired by Bach as well as baroque music in general. He follows the 20th century classics in his orchestral, vocal and chamber compositions.
