9 Volkslieder für dreistimmigen Frauenchor
Choral writing assumes a very important place in the workof Petr Eben. Of Swallows andGirls, a collection of nine charming three-part songs for female choir based onmelodiesand folk poetry texts from Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and the Chod region, is oneof themost frequently performed works of its genre. This cycle of arrangements, inthecomposer's own words, "is a faithful citation of the original folk songs,yet it worksfreely with their stylisation".
