Antonín Dvořák: Saint Ludmila (Svatá Ludmila), Op. 71, B. 144

Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904) composed his monumental oratorio Saint Ludmila (Svatá Ludmila), Op. 71, B. 144, following invitations to visit England after his European success in the 1880s. Written for the Leeds Festival with a libretto by Jaroslav Vrchlický, the work dramatizes the conversion of Ludmila to Christianity, an important event in Bohemian history that led to her becoming Bohemia\'s patron saint. Scored for large forces with extensive choral writing in the tradition of Handel, the piece stands alongside Dvořák\'s Stabat Mater and Requiem as one of his principal choral masterpieces.
