Petr Eben was born in Žamberk in 1929.
Eben’s individuality as a composer may be traced in part to the influence of the environment in which he was brought up: that of the Renaissance town of Český Krumlov. This stimulated his interest in medićval and Renaissance repertory and his penchant for stylized archaism.
His recurrent meditations on mortality reached a summation in the Apologia Sokratus, which affirms his belief in the supremacy of God over life and death. His music oscillates between tonality and polytonality. It has a dramatic quality and is characterized by strong thematic material as well as varied rhythms and changing metre.
