Antonín Dvořák:
Hymn "The Heirs of the White Mountain (Dědicové Bílé hory)", Op. 30, B 134 (with Score)
Composed: May (?) 1872 - 3 June 1872, revised 1880, 1884
Conductor: Zdeněk Košler
Orchestra: Prague Symphony Orchestra
Chorus: Prague Philharmonic Chorus
Dvořák's decision to write a work of strong, patriotic sentiment was unquestionably influenced by the socio-political situation of the late 1860s and early 1870s. The majority of Czechs saw in the so-called Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 the frustration of the hopes they had cherished since the fall of Bach absolutism seven years previously, and the marginalisation of the rights of the Czech nation within the dualistic state. In this turbulent atmosphere Dvořák looked to the lyrico-epic poem by Vitezslav Halek The Heirs of the White Mountain (Dedicove Bile hory) from 1869, with its strong sense of patriotic pathos. In it the author describes the suffering of the Motherland after the Battle of White Mountain, the enemies’ attempt to completely destroy her, their fight against the “company of outcasts” (i.e. representatives of the Czech people), and the final liberation of the Motherland by the Czech Spirit. The poem ends with a commemorative hymn. It is this closing hymn which provided Dvořák with the basis for his cantata for mixed choir and orchestra.
This one-movement piece could be notionally divided into two parts, the first of which is solemn in mood with gentle harmonies, and the second is festive in nature, gradually progressing towards an expression of joyful euphoria. Despite this mood development, Dvořák maintains a sense of perfect homogeneity and stylistic unity throughout the piece. The Hymn draws on Dvořák's instrumentation skills and his ability to integrate the choir and orchestra with great conviction. One should also note his resourceful imitative treatment and the effective build-up towards the close of the work to the words “There is but one land, there is but one mother!”.

이곡을 듣지 않으면 드볼작을
모르며 그를 알수없다.
그의 민족의 사랑, 음악의
순수성,소박함,열정,향토애가
이곡에 다 들어있다고 저는
생각합니다. 그의 모든 작품을
합한 만큼 아름다운 합창곡ᆢ
이라생각합니다~
음악을 마음으로 느끼는
사람만이 알수있을겁니다.

드보르작의 백산의 후계자들
남성혼성 관현악을위한찬가
(민족시)~ 로 사람들로 부터
자신 이름이 알려지게 됨...
* 저는 이곡을 들을때마다
드볼작이 얼마나 자기 민족을
사랑하고, 음악의 열정이
뜨거운지를 생각합니다.
~어느 합창곡에서도 느낄수
없는 아름다운 순수한 열정,
서정적이고,향토적인
아름다운곡인것같습니다.
감사합니다.
