Johann Joseph Ignaz Brentner [Brenntner, Brendner, Brendtner, Prentner]
(Dobřany, 3 November 1689 - Dobřany, 28 June 1742)

Bohemian composer. His father was mayor of Dobřany. From about 1717 to 1720 Brentner lived in Prague, where he published several of his works. He seems to have been connected with the religious brotherhood of St Nicholas in the Malá Strana, Prague, for which he wrote his German mourning motets. His Offertoria solenniora op.2 was dedicated to his patron Raymund Wilfert, abbot of the Premonstratensian monastery at Teplá. Brentner’s music is in late Baroque concerto style, with occasional simple songlike motifs. Many of his arias are in da capo form, and those of Hymnodia divina are remarkable for their concertante treatment of accompanying solo instruments, especially the violin. Brentner’s works continued to be performed at the monastery at Strahov, Prague, until the 1840s. #ClassicalMusic
