4 moravské koledy by Anonymous — Lyrics
I.
Byla cesta, byla ušlapaná,
kdo ju šlapal, kdo ju šlapal?
Matka Krista Pána.
Postřetla ju tam svatá Alžběta,
kam ty kráčíš, kam ty kráčíš,
sestřičko má milá?
II.
A teče vodička, vodička studená,
v ní se umývala Panenka Maria.
A dyž se umyla, na břeh vystópila,
na břeh vystópila, syna porodila.

About 4 moravské koledy
This collection of four Moravian carols offers a charming and devout selection for Christmas services or concerts. Set for SATB choir, these traditional Czech carols draw on the rich folk heritage of the region. The first carol recounts the journey to Bethlehem, identifying Mary as the one treading the path. The second depicts the Virgin Mary bathing in a stream before giving birth. The third presents the infant Jesus being fed and cradled by Mary and Joseph, using gentle, lullaby-like phrases. The final carol focuses on a star appearing over a dark mountain, leading to the infant Christ holding a golden cross, affirming his divine nature. These pieces are ideal for choirs seeking authentic and moving repertoire for the Christmas season.
