Orawa (Score)
Description
Orawa for chamber string orchestra crowns a series of Wojciech Kilars compositions inpsired by highland folklore. Since its first performance in Zakopane in 1986 it has been a hit in concert halls, delighting with its spontaneity, energy and temperament. In an interview the composer mentioned that he had dreamed of creating a piece inspired by highlander band and realized this dream in Orawa.
It is pretty much a piece for a magnified folk band and one of the rare examples where Ive been happy with my work. (K. Podobi?ska, L. Polony Ciesz? si? darem ?ycia)
