Collegium Musicum is an art-rock band from Czechoslovakia and was established by stable member Marián Varga 1969. Prevalent in the band´s repertory are instrumental compositions, comprising re-interpretations of classical music themes (Haydn, Bartók, Stravinskij …), and original compositions bearing the first signs of artistic post-modernism (Euphony from the album Convergencie). The story of this band was published in book by musician and music reviewer Marián Jaslovský. Star formation of Collegium Musicum were Marián Varga (hammond organ, keyboards, piano), bassguitarist Fedor Frešo and drummer Dušan Hájek.

In early days Collegium Musicum played with guitarist Fedor Letňan. Latňan was fired and replaced by Rasťo Wacho from Blues Five. Rasto Vacho left the band first time when he gone studied. Collegium Musicum requested Pavel Vaňě and they record first debut EP. After return of Rasťo Vacho they record debut LP “Collegium Musicum”. Later was Rasťo Vacho again replaced by new young guitarist František Griglák (later former member of Fermáta).

Koncert v Divadle Andreja Bagara bol neskutočne atmosferický. Jeden z najlepších koncertných zážitkov môjho života. Pripravujem aj recenziu. Best skladby boli "Ulica plna plaštov do dažda", "Mikrokozmos", "Concerto In D" ... vlastne všetky... a nezabudnem nikdy na legendárne "Esteeeee", v Suite Po Tisic A JEdnej Noci, ktoré akoby zázrakom kričali všetci naraz. Prídavok Hommega bol pre mňa očakávaný a veľmi potešil... Chýbal mi tam iba Dušan Hájek, ktorý je mojim bubeníckym idolom. Valihora bol ale tiež vynikajúci...

to es_why : Možno že je najlepší ale už to nebude nikdy to pravé Collegium bez Dušana. Navyše Dušan mal svoj styl a bol neuveriteľne charizmatický a svojský (jeho legendárne prídavné Amati tomy a množstvo rôznych perkusii popripájanych k súprave). Aj napriek tomu že je Valihora dobrý, neobdivujem ho až tak ako Dušana Hájeka. Urobil chybu že sa na hudbu vykašlal.

"Otvorí sa zimná brána, do ticha sa veža nakloní. Z múdrych zvonov spadnú rána ako hviezdy do jabloní. Prší z ranných hviezd, rosou chcem ťa viesť..."
