This
collection of 10 Polish
Folk Songs on Soldier
Themes by Witold
Lutoslawski, originally
intended for male choir a
cappella, was written in
1951. The score was
published that same year
by the Ministry of
Defence Publishers in the
series Biblioteka
Muzyczna DomuWojska
Polskiego no. 31. Some of
the songs (numbers 4, 5,
6) were also published by
PWM Edition in Krakow
(1945) in the collection
Pod jaworem (Under the
Sycamore Tree) - a
selection of Polish folk
songs arranged for male
choir a cappella, edited
by Jozef K. Lasocki. 10
Polish Folk Songs...
together with the 1951
cycle of four songs
(Wyszlabym ja, Sluzba
Polsce, Zelazny marsz and
Naprzod idziemy) and the
nine-bar Lord Tennyson
Song written many years
later (as an occasional
gift for Robin Boyle) are
the only songs written
for a cappella choir by
Witold Lutoslawski.
Numerous questions from
famous choral conductors
from home and abroad
persuaded me to undertake
to make this edition of
10 Polish Folk Songs...
for mixed choir a
cappella. Study score
does not authorise the
copying and preparation
of performance materials.
