Outstanding selection of patriotic music performed by the Polish Army Artistic Ensemble. Every nation looking back on many centuries of independent statehood will take pride in its hymn or hymns. Composed in different periods of history they extolled the remarkable deeds of rulers and heroes, commemorated momentous events in the struggle for freedom and independence. In Poland's thousand year history, patriotic songs - those fine chroniclers and mirrors of the past - have been characterized by an interpretation of religious and secular motifs, not only in old battle-songs, chanted by knights and soldiers, but also in prayer-like hymns. Polish-English booklet enclosed featuring the words to each hymn and related historical details.
