Biography
Antonín Tučapský studied in Brno before beginning his career as composer, teacher and conductor. From 1964–1972 he was conductor of the famous Moravian Teachers’ Male Voice Choir. He came to Great Britain in 1975, and was appointed Professor of Composition at Trinity College of Music. Here he had more time to develop his compositions, mostly choral or chorally based, having first performances in this country. Conversant with the various compositional theories and trends of the twentieth century, he remains essentially a tonal composer.
