"Nad Prosną" (ca. 1960) (music/words by Józef Samelczak) by Piotr Nowotnik published on 2017-07-01T03:12:03Z This is an archival recording of my grandfather's piece "Nad Prosną" ("At The Prosna River") from the 60's. The orchestra and choir conducted by the composer. The audio is remastered from an old reel-to-reel player. He dedicated the song to his wife - my grandmother. Though the words in this recording are inaudible, this beautiful poem draws from the local mythology of the region and the city - Calisia (Kalisz) where Prosna flows, is known to be mentioned by Ptolemy as one of the "Amber Road" cities and is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Genre Classical Comment by James Winters Very very nice. Very enjoyable to contemplate over and listen to. 2017-07-22T16:41:26Z
