Songs on folk poetry from Bohemia and Moravia - Miroslav Raichl
The series of eighteen (if you like sixteen - two songs are repeated in two different transpositions) songs that use the texts of folk poetry from Bohemia and Moravia from 1986-88 are works to be found in the category that in the widest sense of the word found the greatest "public acceptance".
The melodic line of the vocal part, account of the piano accompaniment and the overall well-arranged construction of individual songs do justice to the original world of the folk song with their intentional austerity and simplicity - but also their sincerity and immediacy of expression. Many of them adhere to the basic rhythmic outline and melodic cadence of the original folk versions. The melodic extent of the tunes allows for interpretation of these songs by various types of voice and pitches, in two cases, the composer mentions two differing vocal pitches for the same song.
