Jakub Šimon Jan Ryba [Biba, Ribba, Rüba, Poisson, Peace, Ryballandini, Rybaville]
(Přeštice, 26 October 1765 - Rožmitál pod Třemšinem, 8 April 1815)

Bohemian composer and teacher. Son of Jakub Ryba (1732-1792), a cantor (schoolmaster) and organist who worked at Rožmitál, Přeštice and Nepomuk, and probably also a composer, he studying with his father at Nepomuk. In 1780 he settled in Prague where he studied at the Priarist Gymnasium. On 11 February 1788 he was appointed assistant teacher and on 23 May 1788 cantor and church choirmaster at Rožmitál in a post he held the rest of his life. He was a dedicated promoter of Enlightened education policies promulgated by Imperial legates such as Ferdinand Kindermann, but the struggle may have proved too much for he committed suicide in 1815. Although known only locally, he was one of the most prominent 18th-century Bohemian cantors; though he devoted himself assiduously to his teaching duties, he wrote a large number of compositions. These include 90 Masses, seven responsories, 100 motets, six operas, 31 Bohemian sacred songs and 30 secular songs, 50 sacred arias, 50 pastorellas, 87 symphonies, seven quintets, 72 quartets, 48 trios, 56 duos, 38 sonatas, and 35 miscellaneous secular works, as well as over 650 dances. He also wrote hymn texts, didactic poetry and prose, occasional and gratulatory poems, and translated Latin and Greek works into Czech.
