Thematic description and context:

Ján Levoslav Bella (4. 9. 1843 Liptovký Mikuláš - 25. 5. 1936 Bratislava) študoval na gymnáziu v Levoči a v Banskej Bystrici. Už ako 18-ročný písal básne. Študoval teológiu v Banskej Bystrici a vo Viedni, pôsobil v Banskej Bystrici a Kremnici. Prvým národným hudobným dielom J. L. Bellu boli Slovenské štvorspevy, klavírna variácia na slovenské ľudové piesne. Národné prvky sú aj v Staroslovenskom otčenáši a kantáte Cyrilo metodiáda. Ako 38-ročný prestúpil J. L. Bella na evanjelickú vieru, oženil sa a stal sa organistom v Sibiu v Rumunsku. Do vlasti sa vrátil ako 85-ročný. Medzi najvýznamnejšie diela patrí opera Kováč Wieland a orchestrálna (Osud a ideál), komorná, piesňová (Matka nad kolískou) a zborová tvorba.
