Babouci - nejstarší jihočeská dechovka » Historie
History of the band
In Nemcice, in the heart of Netolice district in the 60s of the 19th centurythere was a school teacher and headmaster Jan Votava. He made some side money teaching the wind instruments. He taught them well. Later, some of his pupils played in military bands; others became famous circus musicians andtheir art took them far away from home. As a lot of other migrants fromSouth Bohemia, Jan Votava left his beloved, but poor land and went toAmerica, where he hoped to find better life. He left his brass "Turkish"music here and his best pupil Josef Prener, who came from Nemcice, took it up in 1868. As Josef was called Jouzík he named his band Jouzíci.
It was the so-called "music for gentry" - by contrast, to the music till that time was either of the "country" piping or percussion. It had the following instrumentation: Eb clarinet, Bb clarinet, Bb tenor, I and II Eb trumpets and F bass. Prener played Eb clarinet (people called it "short"). The new thing about his band was they were reading music, not just improvising or playing by heart. There were experienced musicians from the Netolice district playing in the band and it was very popular in the broad neighborhood.
Soon after Jouzíci band was established, excellent musicians Matej Baboucek and Matous Baboucek (called "Babouci" according to the name of their house in the village) from Dubné joined it. They had just come back from the army and did not stay with Prener long. In 1875 they organized their own band, which fully replaced Jouzíci and became its direct continuer. It was at that time when the people started to call the band BABOUCI. As Babouci were musicians by avocation they soon found the support in the musicians Jan Novotny and Kaspar Cihlár from Nemcice. Other musicians from the area soon joined the band. The band grew from 7 to 11 musicians.
They played mostly at country hops. As the entrance money was not paid and musicians did not receive any pay, they had a habit to stop playing in the iddle. They "stopped" at some of the dancers who had to put some money to the plate. Then music and dancing went on.
As it happened to village bands not all musicians played regularly with Babouci and this did not bring along the music. As Babouci were interested in the good name for their band they were looking for a permanent "cast" as it was said. They found it - this kind of band was very much in demand. The quality of Babouci grew again and in the district they said that the one who played for Babouci was an "honest musician". Almost for twenty years Babouci played in a permanent cast, but as musicians aged and then "went directly to heaven", new, young players came to the band in 1894. Among them, for instance, there was an excellent bugleman Matej Krejcí from Vcelná, as well as Josef Moucka from Cakovec and at the turn of the century Frantisek Lajer from Habrí, who got married to a girl from Dubné. Most of the Babouci musicians were brickmasons and peasants. As for the uniforms for playing they had similar uniforms, later on they also wore the military caps as one can see in the Ales's pictures of country musicians. About 1900 the founder of the band Matej Baboucek and two other players left the band. They gave place to the sons of Matej Baboucek, Jan and Vojtech, as well as the talented Eb trumpet player Josef Placer from Cakov. Although there were other changes and a generation change in the band - and not once - the style of the music, tuning and instrumentation were the same. It was not necessary to introduce Babouci when they played somewhere as everyone could recognize them from afar. Today it is still the same.
The tradition of the band was to play and sing mainly the folk songs and musical pieces of South Bohemia; they did not have solo singers, all the musicians not only played, but sang. The musical phrases of a song took turns with the solos of the instruments (now it is the same) - after the first phrases there was a clarinets solo, after the second phrase - the one of the flugels, and after the third phrase - of the tenors. The audience sang with them. And now when Babouci accept new members to the band they require not only to master a musical instrument, but also to be able to sing well.
When they start playing Kubata or Zbudov waltz you feel as if you really went along the dams of the ponds of Blatná, along the Soudny stream somewhere to the Vomácka bastion, and as if you spoke to some of the characters of the Klostermann's novel "Mists on the Swamps". You feel as if you would meet Kubata himself or would hear the words of the sincere love of Vojta Hríbek and Apolenka Potuzákova. The countryside of Zbudov still witnesses its poetry and secrecy which can be understood only by a sensitive soul that flugels and tenors invite a sweet dream.
As the music of Babouci was very popular they soon could hardly receive all invitations they had. When they played at a village wake, at a wedding party, carnival or just at a lovely moment they said it was not a place to sit in a pub, there was no place even at the bench for old women (called the "bank", as they discussed the others there). Babouci could not only play and sing well, they were able to bring the ease and to entertain.Kapela Václava Rožbouda staršího z třicátých letOld people still remember how they all made ears of their handkerchiefs, how they played under the table and while playing went among the dancers and went out to the balcony, only the drummer stood at the "loft". Their name soon became famous abroad the South Bohemia too. In 1927 the famous actress Marie Svobodová from Dubné (who at the end of her life played in the South Bohemian theatre in Ceské Budejovice) invited them to Prague to play at an old Bohemian wedding party. The best man was the famous "showman" and singer Jan Hakl-Slavícek from Kvítkovice.
An important year in the life and work of Babouci was 1935. The brickmason and born musician Jan Ferebauer from Dubné, who was called "Shamble", became the band leader. He was the band leader till 1962. He managed to bring the best musicians - Eb clarinet player Jakub Spaninger from Dubné, Vít Postl from Stupné and again the members of the Babouceks family - Jan's son Václav and after the war Vojtech's son, whose name was also Václav - and so Babouci grew younger again thanks to the blood of other Babouceks. At that time other new names appeared, namely Jan and Josef Moucek from Cakov, Stanislav Vojta, Josef Nasinec and then Barta, Frantisek Pach (Es trimpeta), Stanislav Borovka from Nová Ves u Brloha (bass) and then his namesake from Ceské Budejovice (clarinet), Josef Sabatka...
During the occupation, country hops were mostly forbidden. However the concerts were still allowed to keep the spirit of people. Babouci went to play in the villages, it goes without saying that they beat the hoof or cycled, rain or shine...
Doba nacistické okupace skončila a lidé se probudili ze zlého snu a z ještě horší skutečnosti. Už se zase smělo žít, radovat se a tančit, a tak Babouci začali zas hrát k potěšení a zábavě těch, kteří ta zlá léta přežili. V roce 1947 už se o nich opět ví široko daleko, jsou zváni k tancovačkám, hraní při zakládání družstev a ke schůzím, na posvícení, k masopustům ...
The time of Nazi occupation was over and people awoke from the ghastly dream to a reality which was even worse. People could live, be happy and dance, and therefore Babouci began to play for pleasure and enjoyment of those who survived. In 1947 they were again famous far and wide; they were invited to hops, to play on the occasion of co-operatives foundation and meetings, at village wakes and carnivals...
On Cathern in 1947 (this is the day of a "musicians' turnover", a transfer point as we would put it now) Voytech Baboucek left and all-round musician from Nemcice, twenty-three-year-old tenor-player Václav Rozboud, who later became the band leader of Babouci, came to the band. However, we are still at the time when the band leader was Jan Ferebauer. It was the time when Babouci became members of ZK ROH (trade-union organization club) of the Czech radio in Ceské Budejovice; then they passed to the Town's cultural centre in Ceské Budejovice and finally found their home roof in ZK ROH of the South Bohemian paper works in Ceské Budejovice.
During the time when Babouci were the members of ZK ROH radio they began to participate in the radio broadcasting from Ceské Budejovice and from Prague. At that time for the programme needs mostly instrumental music without singing was recorded. There were a series of composers and arrangers - J. Novácek, J. Drobílek, J.Beneda and Kubes. The radio musical editor Miroslav Vaverka relished, that Babouci were really a first class band, good to work with and reliable... Those old records, i.e. Spring Flowers, A Bunch of Memories and In the Green Wood are evergreen records. It is proved by the letters, which have been sent to Babouci and radio:
Each time when Babouci play in radio we sing in chorus together with them, as we know their songs almost by heart. (J. Stejskal, My to u Rokycan)
We like listening to you very much, both in radio and at the events, in the exhibition area and in the coppice of Ceské Budejovice. Therefore today we would like to thank you for all your beautiful songs, for those nice moments with your music. You deserve gratitude and appreciation because you diffuse peaceful mood and successfully continue the hundred-year-old tradition of Babouci and enliven those beautiful people's songs that we like so much. We wish that you played as well as you play now, that you were always a good band and we are waiting for you new songs (workers of pencil factory KOH-I-NOOR in Ceské Budejovice) At that time Babouci were famous in Prague as they introduced themselves in Lucerna together with the brass band of Mugrauers from Krenovice.
The latest history
In 1968 it was the hundred anniversary of the continuous existence of Babouci. In that year Václav Rozboud from Nemcice, who used to be its tenor player, became the bandleader. He also used to play in the military band of Ceské Budejovice. He came from a very musical family, his grandfather served in a band of the Austrian army in Italy, his father played in the military band of the emperor and his both sons Milan and Václav are musicians too.
"Here the music is engrained in people; we inherit it from generation to generation. There used to be whole villages of musicians," - recollected Václav Rozboud.
The band continued to maintain its own individual style and returned to the traditionally sung pieces although it happened (as it happens to any band) that some players left the band and new players joined it. Here the names of Frantisek Mikes, Milous Stropek, Ladislav Lippa, Frantisek Herda, Zdenek Kabourka, Stanislav Vojta, Eduard Lehecky, Josef Safár, Frantisek Babicky (from Ceské Budejovice) and Jaroslav Nusek, Kucera brothers (from Prachatice), Frantisek Matousek (from Ceské Budejovice) and a lot of others appeared. Babouci have been playing traditionally in the eleven musicians - however they have some of the instruments doubled in order to have the substitutes for those who must be at work at the time the band plays, as Babouci really have very few free evenings. And as before they play at the balls, fairs and wakes, wedding parties and concerts, sometimes one can see them at funerals. In Ceské Budejovice at the end of ball season the musicians' ball is held, it cannot do without the songs of Babouci either.
"The feature of your band's manner which impressed me most of all was the fact that you really play as it used to be played. This old-fashioned manner of play is very impressive for the listeners. It amuses, makes you lyrical and comforts you. And when a person has been ill for a long time (and this is my case) listening to such music is twice as effective, as it disengages you from your physical hardships and helps you not to think about pain, although there are days and moments which you almost cannot endure. Really, special comfort, rare and seldom experienced now. There are a lot of brass bands one can listen to, but those, which really engross you, are few. The ones who have in their tones not only the craftsmen's routine and official severity, almost coldness. One can unmistakably recognize the artistic genuineness, seriousness and tender flaming heart" - (M. Sebele, Brno).
Babouci are familiar not only to the participants of their playing, the listeners of their concerts and songs, ether onstage or on the radio and television. The New-Year's Eve release in 1979 called "On the Road of Písek" was so popular that the Czechoslovakian television repeated it several times. You could see and hear Babouci in 1968 already, in the cycle called "For a word, Citizens" as well as in the television programme about the town of Strakonice. From the very beginning of the famous agricultural show "Zeme zivitelka" in Ceské Budejovice there has not been a year without Babouci. Their fans gather in the garden Pivovarská, where they perform, much before their turn comes.
"I've been working for 24 years in the carrier company CSAD in Pocátky as a bus driver. We visited "Zeme zivitelka" and listened to the performance of the brass bands. We were filled with admiration for the oldest South Bohemian brass band Babouci. The way they play and the songs of the Bohemian Forest region make them a unique and inimitable group. The solos, played on the bugles by the band master Rozboud and his son, were the poetry in music" (J. Sindelár, Pocátky).
The tour life of the band is very rich too. The large part of Bohemia and Moravia knows their green jackets with the spider stripe and their playing. People are looking forward to their performances; especially in the town of Kaliste u Horních Dubenek in the Jihlava district. There, in 1986 the first club of Babouci was set up. They even have the club seal. The South Bohemian brass band was brought to Kaliste in 1950s by the Mugrauers from Krenovice. Other Czech brass bands also visited that place, but it was the Babouci band which caught people's fancy and was regularly invited. When Babouci come to Kaliste - the locals call their community Baboukov - the cultural centre is not big enough as it seems that all people from the community and the broad neighbourhood gathered to listen to them. The first propagandists of Babouci were Josef Pulkráb and Jan Novotny. When the club was set up, the head of the local catering facility Anicka Druzkovská became the chairwoman and Josef Pulkráb and Jaroslav Hájek became the secretaries of the club. They organize (unfortunately now without J. Pulkráb) the tours to the places, where Babouci play and take care that the people of Horní Cerekev, Slavonice and Jarosov are not deprived of the pleasure to listen to the music of Babouci. And so we hear from there:
"When Babouci plays it is as if someone dear to you caressed you. Their music draws people together. and makes them more receptive of the good things of life and in particular willing to do something for life."
Babouci are known abroad too. They played for several times during the Friendship days in the former German Democratic Republic, in 1967 they participated in the International festival of the brass bands in Knoke in Belgium in the programme called "Merry-go-round" and it goes without saying that their play was smashing. The programme was shot by the Belgian television and the tour was marked by a small concert in the Czechoslovakian embassy in Brussels. Once in Austria at a ball, where they played, there was an invalid, who was so much ravished by their playing that he danced on his crutches to our melodies all night long and was said to be very much upset, when the ball was over. It was at half past four in the morning. However it was not eight when our Babouci were awaken and told that there were a lot of people in the hall, who wanted them to play again. So they played and stroke up a great friendship with one of the brass bands from Steiermark.
