Description:
The Trumpeter of Krakow' ist ein farbenfrohes programmatisches Werk, das die alte Legende eines Trompeters nachzeichnet, der Krakau vor der Invasion der Tataren im Jahr 1241 bewahrte, indem er ein Warnsignal spielte und dadurch sein eigenes Leben opferte. Die Musik beinhaltet auch den 'Hejnal', einen echten polnischen Choral, der in Krakau heute zum Gedenken an den historischen Trompeter zu jeder Stunde gespielt wird.
