In the past, music was regularly composed for the Prague Cathedral. At the initiative of Jana Maříková, Prague Castle's chief archaeologist, we decided to build on the historical musical legacy. On the occasion of the centenary of the Institute of Archaeology at the Prague Castle, new music for the cathedral was created. Matouš Hejl's full-length spatial composition uses specific acoustic characteristics of this extraordinary spiritual space. The singers and musicians will move around the entire cathedral, the sound will literally embrace the audience.
