---
Bohemian composer. He was born into the family of the mayor of the town
of Dobřany in Western Bohemia. From about 1717 to 1720 he lived in
Prague, where he published several of his works. He seems to have been
connected with the religious brotherhood of St Nicholas in the Malá
Strana, Prague, for which he wrote his German mourning motets. His
Offertoria solenniora op.2 was dedicated to his patron Raymund Wilfert,
abbot of the Premonstratensian monastery at Teplá. Brentner’s music is
in late Baroque concerto style, with occasional simple songlike motifs.
Many of his arias are in da capo form, and those of Hymnodia divina are
remarkable for their concertante treatment of accompanying solo
instruments, especially the violin. Brentner’s works continued to be
performed at the monastery at Strahov, Prague, until the 1840s.
