I would like to thank Jakub J. Jirásek for his trust in me when he approached me to collaborate on a spot for the 200th anniversary of Bedřich Smetana’s birth for the Year of Czech Music. Figuring out what musical form people would convey by humming the melody of the Vltava River was a challenge and, above all, incredibly fun. As well as arranging the individual voices. The canon has always fascinated me with its refined polyphonic structure and its ability to be naturally rooted in folk music. And that’s why we chose it to work on such an iconic melody that still resonates with people. #smetana200 #rokceskehudby
