Nothing brings you into the Czech Christmas spirit quite like the Rybovka — at least according to members of the Jan Neruda Grammar School choir in Prague. Despite its name — “ryba” means “fish” in Czech — the Rybovka has nothing to do with fish. Instead, it is a piece of music named after its composer, Jakub Jan Ryba, who in the 18th century wrote a Christmas Mass that is still sung across Czechia every year.
