High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prenke Jakova (27 June 1917 – 19 September 1969) was a well known Albanian composer, musician, and author of the first Albanian opera, Mrika, which premiered in 1958. A native of Shkoder, he studied under Martin Gjoka and Zef Kurti, and he was also an alumnus of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. A virtuoso clarinetist he worked as a music teacher for most of his life and distinguished himself as the mentor of the four most important composers of classical music from northern Albania: Cesk Zadeja Tish Daija, Tonin Harapi, and Simon Gjoni. Jakova was the director of the music band and of the House of Culture of Shkoder. Besides Mrika, Jakova also composed Skenderbeu, another opera which premiered in 1968. Along the operas Jakova left to posterity many songs and other musical pieces, several of which are commonly believed to be Albanian folk music, rather they are Jakova's compositions.
