He had been organist in Turnov and Rovensko (where he was also cantor) from 1668 and in Dobrovice, near Mladá Boleslav, in 1679-1680. During his tenure at Vyšehrad he may have taken a pilgrimage to Rome and sometime in the early eighteenth century he lived a prayerful and hermit-like existence at Waldstein Castle near Turnov.
His magnum opus is Cappella Regia Musicalis (Prague: 1693), containing 772 pieces, which was almost certainly the fruit of his 12-plus years as a provincial cantor. The publication coincides with his appointment as organist at Vyšehrad in Prague, though he may have been in the city for some time before that. Cappella Regia Musicalis is a massive collection of hymns, sacred and festive songs, and all manner of musical settings of almost all central parts of the Roman-Catholic liturgy, all printed primarily in the Czech language. It is difficult to tell just how much of the collection was composed by Holan himself (though it is clear that many other composers are represented), and some of the songs and other pices are clearly much older, such as the anoymous fifteenth century Czech settings of the Passion. Curiously, the collection also contains many earlier Protestant and even Hussite songs, making it something of a survey of Czech sacred song to date. Unlike most other Czech hymnals, many pieces in Holan's collection also included basso continuo and even obligatto instruments such as violins, viols, and trumpets. Another curious feature of this rather amazing publication is that no two surviving copies are alike, leading to suspicions that they may have been made-to-order. It would seem that Heinrich Schmelzer (c.1620-1680) was familiar with it, since a (greatly explanded) German-language version of one of the pieces circulated under his name. Sections of Cappella Regia Musicalis were continually copied and reprinted throughout the ensuing centuries and, in some quarters, have been the basis for many Czech hymnals.

Rorate Caeli" is a traditional Catholic Advent hymn that has been used for centuries during the Advent season. The title "Rorate Caeli" is derived from the opening words of the Latin text, which are taken from Isaiah 45:8. The hymn is often sung in Latin, emphasizing the anticipation and preparation for the coming of Christ

Roses. Stay strong. This fallen world is broken and all the people in it. Not sure why we must suffer during our exile here, but who am I to question God’s reasonings. Keep the faith my friend, this too will pass….Hopefully sooner rather than later. You are in my rosary intentions.
