10 chodských písní

This collection of four traditional Czech folk songs, arranged for SSAA choir, offers a glimpse into rural life and sentiment. The first song, Pásla koníčka, tells a poignant tale of a girl lamenting the loss of her horse, her only joy. The second, Dyž sem plela len, expresses a young woman's sorrow over a love that fades too quickly, comparing her heartache to the effort of weeding flax and peas. Nihdá mě hlavička focuses on the pain of a forgotten love, contrasting past health with present suffering. Finally, Nic nedbám celebrates the simple pleasure of having apples for a loved one, suggesting that such small comforts are all that truly matter. These pieces are ideal for bringing authentic folk character to a concert program.
