Return to Poland

Program: #04-11   Air Date: Mar 08, 2004

We are experiencing difficulties with our usual, more featureful audio player. We expect to fix this soon; until then, please enjoy the music with this 'classic' audio player.

All of the music on this program comes from import discs given to us by the Polish Ensemble Il Canto.

This program is Free for all, thanks to this generous Preservation Grant:

Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant from Nora Harmon.

The first features an integral recording of the works of Waclaw of Szamotuly (c.1520/5–c.1560). The second, with music of Waclaw and the Missa Paschalis of Marcin Leopolita (c.1550?–1589), features the Collegium Vocale.

From Waclaw z Szamotul with Il Canto Vocal Chamber Ensemble (KOS CD 13—c/o Arista Ltd., Hoza 50, PL00-628, Warsaw, Poland). All works by Waclaw of Szamotuly:

  • Alleluia Chwalcie Pana ("Alleluia, Praise the Lord"—Psalm CXVI).
  • In te Domine speravi.
  • Naklon, Panie, ku mnie ucho Twoje ("Bow down Thine ear, O Lord"—Ps. LXXXV).
  • Ego sum pastor bonus.
  • Kryste dniu naszej swiatlosci ("O Christ, lightness of our day").
