"His music was much influenced by the folk music of his native Moravia, but the political and social problems of the World War I period also had a deep effect on him. Passing from late-Romanticism through a transitional period marked by influences from contemporary developments, his music attained a broad lyricism with particularly strong traces of folksong and dance. Most of his works are cast in extended forms. It was in the field of vocal music that he was most successful: there are a number of valuable choral works (principally pieces for male chorus) and his song-cycles and folksong arrangements are notable." (Jan Trojan, Grove Online) (2316)
