Najpiekniejsze Koledy

Najpiekniejsze Koledy

Poland boasts a long and exquisite tradition of carols and pastorals (Koledy i Pastoralki) which are the heart of Polish Christmas. These ancient and most beautiful songs are sung in families and in church throughout the holiday season. The Polish Christmas carol or "koleda" is derived from the Latin word Calendae, meaning "first day of the month". Polish Christmas carols are almost all anonymous, having been composed by the people. Their origins date from the fourteen century, and many from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. "W Zlobie Lezy", believed to have been composed in the fourteenth century, is considered to be the first Polonaise.

The Polish carol has an essentially folk song quality which makes it specifically national. The melodies are characteristically Polish - cheerful, tender, and even humorous - typical of the Polish peasant or mountaineer. The Infant Jesus, poor, homeless, and born in a stable surrounded by the familiar domestic animals, appeals to the hearts and imaginations of all peoples. Koledy are very joyful songs announcing the coming of Christ on earth and through His grace, the rebirth of our souls.

This tastefully released in 2008, by the Polish label Polskie Nagrania dig-pack CD, includes all the most popular Polish Christmas carols, such as: "Jesus, Heaven's Infant" (Jezus Malusienki), "To the Town of Bethlehem" (Przybiezeli do Betlejem), "Let Us All Go " (PÃ³jdzmy Wszyscy), "Rejoice Bethlehem" (Dzisiaj w Betlejem), "God is Born" (Gdy sie Chrystus rodzi), "Midst Quiet Night" (Wsrod Nocnej Ciszy), "Hush-A-Bye Little Jesus" (Lulajze Jezuniu), and is masterfully performed by the best choirs from Poland: Mazowsze, Slask, Poznanskie Slowiki, and the Choir of Warsaw Cathedral.
