Polish Christmas Carols II — Choral Versions

Sunday 19 December 2004

Kinga recently found some old CDs of choral renditions of many Polish carols. Several of them are simply different versions of the carols posted earlier.

  • “WÅ›ród Nocnej Ciszy”
  • “Pójdźmy Wszyscy Do Stajenki”
  • “Dzisiaj w Betlejem”

Most of them, though, should be entirely new to non-Polish ears:

  • “Do Szopy Hej Pasterze” (“To the Stable, Hey Shepherds”)
  • “Ah Ubogi Å»łobie” (“Ah, Poor Manger”)
  • “Hej, KolÄ™da, KolÄ™da” (“Hey, Carol, Carol”)
  • “Li Li Li Li Laj” (As it appears. It’s a lullaby for Jesus.)
  • “MÄ™drcy Åšwiata Monarchowie” (“Wisemen and Kings”)
  • “Północ Już Była” (“It’s Past Midnight,” though a literal translation is “It’s Already Been Midnight”)
  • “Tryumfy Króla Niebieskiego” (“Triumph of the Heavenly King”)

Unfortunately, I don’t have the time now to provide information about all the songs. If you want to download the whole bunch at once (24 MB), this is the link for you.

(Note: All songs have been removed, lost in a site-redesign 15+ years ago…)
