Jiří Ignác (Georg Ignaz) Linek [Linka, Lineck, Lynka]
(Bakov nad Jizerou, 21 January 1725 - Bakov nad Jizerou, 30 December 1791)

Bohemian composer and pedagogue. Born and raised in Bakov nad Jizerou, he studied at the Piarist gymnasium in Kosmonosy and later he studied composition with Josef Seger. From 1747 to his death, he was a teacher, choirmaster and member of the literary fraternity in Bakov nad Jizerou. As a cantor there for over four decades, he composed a vast body of works, primarily for the church. His compositions include numerous masses, requiems, oratorios, and, most notably, a collection of Christmas pastorals. These pastorals, simple yet heartfelt, have become a beloved part of the Bohemian Christmas tradition. His musical style was characterized by its adherence to the Baroque tradition, while also incorporating elements of folk music. His compositions are often described as melodious and expressive, reflecting the musical tastes of the time and place. As a pedagogue, he played a significant role in the development of music education in Bohemia. He founded a literary brotherhood and was instrumental in fostering a love of music among his students.
