Kovář by Josef Bohuslav Foerster — Lyrics
Máme chlapce kováře, on ty koně kove,
ztratíli kde podkovy, ukove jim nové.
Máme chlapce kováře, on do výhně dmýchá,
máli ukout podkovu, nemůže kout zticha.
A kde která dívčina hned se z domu zvedne,
u nás není bohudík hluché ani jedné.

About Kovář
Josef Bohuslav Foerster’s Kovář is a vibrant SATB setting of Czech secular verse. The music captures the energetic spirit of the text, which describes a blacksmith at work and the admiring young women who gather to watch him. The composer creates a lively texture, with imitative passages and moments where the different voice parts playfully engage with each other, mirroring the bustling atmosphere of the forge and the growing excitement of the onlookers. Foerster’s skill in crafting engaging choral soundscapes is evident, making this a charming and spirited addition to a choral programme.
