Polish Christmas Carols II — Choral Versions

Sunday 19 December 2004 | general

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…)
