Chodský den — Lyrics
Alou! Vivat! burem zpjivat,
nepurem z hospody domů,
dokajd je pjivičko v sudu.
Kluci selcký, sakvadelcký,
nechcete poslůchat mámy,
nyjlepčí na vojnu s vámi!
Alou! Vivat! burem zpjivat.
Což ten slavíček vo půlnoci zpjivá?
Jak se ten hlásek pěkně rozlíhá!
Sedne na kotvjičku,
zpívá si pjisničku,

About Chodský den
This is a lively arrangement of a traditional Czech folk song, suitable for a mixed choir of SSATBB. The text celebrates youthful exuberance and a carefree spirit, urging listeners to enjoy the moment, perhaps in a festive social gathering. It evokes the sounds of nature with a nightingale's song and a touch of playful defiance against parental advice. The music likely captures the energetic and convivial mood of the lyrics, making it an engaging piece for a secular concert program. This piece offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the rich tradition of Czech folk music within an accomplished choral setting.
