Description
 
Most of the music on this disc, The Rzeszow Region and the Foothills, comes from the center of the region and from its eastern outskirts (as far as the banks of the San), as well as the Dynow Foothills. The oldest of these were made in 1962, the most recent in 1995. Though most of the examples are performances given at the annual Festivals of Folk Singers and Ensembles in Kazimierz-on-the Vistula, some were also recorded in the musicians' own houses in portable reporter's equipment (ex. 32,33). Recordings of Ukrainian ethnic groups, the Lemkos who inhabited the region till their resettlement during the Vistula Campaign in 1947, will appear in this series on another disc, entitled "The Music of National and Ethnic Minorities".
Several dozen folk bands are active in the Rzeszow region today, playing at weddings and giving concerts. Their latest recordings have been released on cassettes and discs and are readily available. Our selection has therefore been consciously limited to the oldest and most traditional makeups of the ensembles, to solo instrumental practice and the most typical elements of the dance repertoire. We have also presented performances by the most eminent musicians of the older generation, exemplifying the styles of their play. The same principles have been adopted in the selection of the vocal music for the disc. Polish booklet enclosed with details about the region and the musicians.
