Twenty Polish Christmas Carols (Lutosławski)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Twenty Polish Christmas Carols is a collection of Polish carols arranged for soprano and piano in 1946 by the Polish composer Witold Lutosławski (1913-94) and then orchestrated by him for soprano, female choir, and orchestra in 1984-89. The tunes and texts were taken from 19th-century sources. Twenty Polish Christmas Carols have likened to folksong settings by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
