Jan (Johann, Giovanni) Nepomuk Václav Vocet [Vozet, Wozet, Wocet, Wozetisso]
(Tetín, 14 April 1777 - České Budějovice, 28 January 1843)

Bohemian organist and composer. He emerged from a family steeped in musical tradition. In 1799 he married Veronika Hájková, with whom he had six children, in Mirotice, a city where he worked briefly as regens chori. In 1801 he was appointed as choir director at St. Nicholas Cathedral in České Budějovice in a post he held the rest of his life. He nurtured local musical talent by forming an amateur ensemble that would eventually become the city's premier musical group. This ensemble played a vital role in civic life, performing at important ceremonies, including those in the historic Good City. On 17 April 1819 he married for a second time Jana Nepomucena Laubová, with whom he had three children, and on 29 August 1837 he married for a third time Rosalia Zátková. As a composer, his huge output of over 1900 works, primarily sacred, includes twenty-four masses, numerous arias, litanies, and graduals, showcasing his mastery of liturgical music in the tradition of classical style. He also composed dance music.
