4 chodské písně

This collection presents four traditional folk songs from the Chodsko region of Bohemia, set for unaccompanied SSAA voices. Sung in Czech, these pieces offer a glimpse into regional life and sentiment. The first song, "Co pa tám děláš?", questions a lover's actions and reveals the singer's sorrow over a lost beloved, who apparently possesses a hoard of mouldy coins. The second, "Hdyž se ten baldovskyj zámeček boural", tells a tale of infidelity and a woman's strong rejection of her unfaithful partner, declaring she will laugh rather than weep and that 'lordly oxen' can drink from the springs she will not deplete. These songs are ideal for a choir seeking authentic, characterful European folk music.
