Petr Skoumal
Petr Skoumal (7 March 1938 – 28 September 2014) was a Czech musician and composer. Skoumal focused on film music. He also composed music for animated shorts (i.e. '' Maxipes Fik''). In the past he made several stage performances with Jan Vodňanský in The Drama Club in Prague. After the break-up of the duo he made several albums for adults, echoing the communist times (i.e. ''Half-life'', ''March''). In the 90s he started a series of albums for children, based on the stories of Emanuel Frynta, Pavel Šrut and Jan Vodňanský (i.e. '' If the Pig Had Wings'', ''Pastries'', ''How to hunt a Gorilla''). The former was made into a stage performance for Divadlo v Dlouhé. He was a son of the notable Czech translator Aloys Skoumal. He died in 2014 at age of 76. His funeral was held at the Strašnice Crematorium Strašnice Crematorium (in cs, link=no, Krematorium Strašnice) is the largest crematory in Europe in terms of area.

Pavel Šrut
Pavel Šrut (3 April 1940, in Prague – 20 April 2018) was a Czech poet and writer. Career After graduating in 1967 from the Charles University in Prague where he studied English and Spanish, Šrut worked as an editor in a publishing house. Since 1972, he was a freelance writer and translator. Together with poets such as Ivan Wernisch and Petr Kabeš, Šrut belonged to the famous generation of Czech poets who published their first books in the 1960s. Like so many of his contemporaries, he was not allowed to publish books of his poems during the Soviet occupation, except for books for children. His work was often done together with an award-winning Czech painter and illustrator Galina Miklínová (e. g. ''Verunka a kokosový dědek'' (2004) which is included on the IBBY list, as is his 1992 book ''Kočičí král'' which is a collection of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh fairy-tales) and lyrics for Czech musicians like Petr Skoumal, and Framus Five.
