Rihovsky, Adalbert 04/21/1871 - 09/15/1950

Vojtěch (Adalbert) Říhovský (* April 21, 1871 in Dub nad Moravou; † September 15, 1950 in Prague) was a Czech musician and composer. After his studies in Prague, Říhovský worked as an organist, choirmaster, violinist, violist and consultant for a publishing house. He became particularly known for his numerous compositions in the field of church music. However, he also published entertaining music under his pseudonym V. R. Dubsky, whereby "Dubsky" can be translated as "from Dub" and this name should therefore be interpreted and understood as "Vojtěch Říhovský from Dub nad Moravou". Říhovský composed more than 300 works including numerous masses and five settings of the Latin Requiem.
