Johann Antonin (Jan Evangelista Antonín Tomáš) Koželuh [Koscheluch, Kozeluch, Goscheloch, Koziluh et al.]
(Velvary, 14 December 1738 - Prague, 3 February 1814)

Bohemian teacher, composer and organist, cousin to Leopold Koželuh (1747-1818). He studied under the Jesuits at Brenitz, as well as Josef Seger in Prague. He then worked for a short time as Kapellmeister in Rakovník and cantor in Velvary. Moving to Vienna, he became a pupil of Christoph Willibald von Gluck and Florian Gassmann. By 1784 he had returned to Prague to accept a position at the St. Vitus Cathedral as well as the Strahov Monastery, positions he retained for 30 years. Among his pupils were Václav Praupner and Leopold Kozeluch; he also taught composition to his two sons, Wenzel Franz Koželuh (1784-?) and Vinzenz Emanuel Koželuh (1780-1839), and to his daughter Barbara Koželuh, a singer and pianist. As a composer, his output includes 45 Masses, a Requiem, an oratorio, two operas, 98 offertories, 60 sacred arias, 10 Te Deums, two litanies, four symphonies, and at least three woodwind concertos. He was one of the most important Bohemian composers in the second half of the 18th century, and his music was performed well into the 19th century.
