Raise Your Hat to the Song II - 20 folk songs + carol arranged for piano by Milan Dvořák
Our national folk songs has been sung and played in hundreds of different arrangements, whether accompanied by a single instrument or as an element of a symphonic composition.
As in the first album I made use of harmonic and rhythmic elements of jazz music, but above all I did my best for the song to remain but a song; after all, I myself raise my hat to it. The bonus carol is a presage of future album „Raise your hat to the carol“.
The set includes an instructive recording of the score on CD featuring, apart from the author, also Mr Miroslav Navrátil.
Other compositions by Milan Dvořák published in Czech Radio:
Dialogues for Four Hands
