- Rož and Podjuna and Zila are three Slovenian valleys in northern Carinthia (now part of Austria). They symbolize Slovenian national identity and pride of our fellow countrymen in Carinthia. It honors those who despite tremendous German pressures to assimilate managed to survive for more than one hundred years on land that Slovenia lost after World War One. The song reminds us that the land of Carinthia is ours, Slovenian. That our people, who endured all the great hardships of both world wars, are still a part of the Slovenian motherland, a part of our memory and a part of the proud melancholic Slovenian soul.
(Primož Zevnik, concert director)
The song of three valleys where Slovenian people live in Austrian Carinthia was written by priest Ph.D. Janko Mikula, together with farmer Janko Olip. The song was tuned by Pavle Kernjak.
This amazing symphonic musical arrangement was made by composer Marjan Peternel
Sopran: Ernestina Jošt
Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra
conductor: Maestro Nejc Bečan
Gimnazija Kranj United Choirs
chorus master: Erik Šmid
balance engineer: Aleks Pirkmajer
balance engineer assistant: Antonina Wyszyńska
mastering: Iztok Zupan
Janko Mikula was a prominent national and cultural worker in Carinthia in the 1930s and 1940s. After finishing humanistic high school in Klagenfurt, he studied scholastic philosophy at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and afterward theology in Klagenfurt. It is believed that he cooperated with Carinthian cultural organizations already as a student. After being ordinated a priest in 1932, he worked in several Carinthian towns. During the war, he helped expatriates and was put in jail for a few months by Germans due to collaboration with partisans. In 1952 he decided to move abroad; he learned English and moved to Australia. He had no contact with his homeland for about a decade, however, later on, he became a regular visitor.
The legacy of Janko Mikula has not been gathered and reviewed completely. It contains memorial and preaching notes, random thoughts and even an experimental dramatic text. However, he became a part of the Slovenian collective memory mainly as the author of the poem Rož, Podjuna, Zila, which is deemed a national poem for many people. The song for this poem was written by a Carinthian self-taught composer Pavle Kernjak. As a composer arising from the Carinthian folk tradition, he became the central figure in music among Carinthian Slovenians. After WW2 he became known also among Slovenians in other regions, particularly due to performances of the Slovenian octet.
The song Rož, Podjuna, Zila is dedicated to the priest Vinko Poljanec and was supposed to be written at the time of his death. Poljanec was a vivid promoter of national consciousness, who persistently continued his political and cultural work even after the Carinthian plebiscite failed. Consequently, despite striving for the coexistence of both nations, he became a target of German nationalists, particular following the annexation of Austria into Germany. In 1938 he was imprisoned and when released from prison, where mercury was allegedly added to his food, he was exhausted and died shortly after. Therefore, he is deemed as the first victim of Nazism among Carinthian Slovenian priests.

The beautiful Ernestina Jost singing ‘ My Homeland’ Exquisite , ❤️
I love her quiet poise. No overacting.

Stunningly beautiful ,God’s wounderous gift Love from Bonnie Scotland❤️
Poslušam z zaprtimi očmi. Ta pesem in še v tej čudoviti izvedbi me globoko gane! Izvedba ter sporočilo te pesmi je nekaj, kar pri meni zbudi spoštovanje zmeraj, ko jo slišim.
Spoštljiv poklon vsem in hvala!.
Dragi Franc. Blagoslovljen božič in vse dobro.
Pozdravljen Franc, Slovenija ima tako čudovite pesmi, imaš čudovite interprete in zelo zelo rada poslušam glasbo tvoje domovine. Mene pa se je res dotaknila ta pesem, ki jo je s svojim čudovitim glasom zapela prikupna Ernestina Jošt. Lahko se vživim v vsako besedo, pa tudi v občutke, ki jih verjetno vzbudi pri marsikaterem tvojem rojaku. Škoda, ker še nisem našel besedila pesmi. (Upam, da nisem napisal preveč napak.)
Fantastic arrangement and performance and soprano voice and ... Slovenian spirit
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just beautiful. I wish I had learned Slovenian.

Beautiful voice, beautiful song...
I am not an emotional person. I look down on people who cry for superfluous reasons like a movie or a sports team losing. With that said and done I can’t listen to Ernestina Jost without crying. Ernestina Jost is proof of a loving God. Perhaps she is an Angel sent to us from Heaven as God’s final gift to mankind before the apocalypse
Your post is a good proof that when people are dovoted and belive in what they are doing whit pure heart and love of doing it reaches out to many people and cultures and as a proud Slovene I am happy to see that even such a smoll nation has to offer a lot to ohers. Greetings an God bless you from Slovenia.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Count this American as a friend
@@gregoryglading1517 There is never enough friends in this crazy world so gladly. At the end it doesent matter nationality colour of skin what matters is pure soul and good heart
and open mind. I just wish more people were like that.
You are not alone, Gregory. I have been following Ernestina's career from the time she was about sixteen and brought to the front of the stage as a soloist by my friend Primož Zevnik in his Gimnazija Kranj High School/Youth Symphony Orchestra and Mixed Choirs, where she performed here on the orchestra's final, and bittersweet, concert, "Zadnje potovanje domov" ("Last Journey Home"), their Christmas concert of 2018. And her beautiful singing voice, to this day, often brings tears to my eyes. 💖
Have you been following her career since she graduated (Summa cum laude) with her Masters Degree in lyric singing from the Ljubljana University Academy of Music? She is having Quite the career. 😀
And do you know the story of these three beautiful valleys, the Rož, Podjuna, and Zila, in what is now known as Carinthia in Austria, which were once part of Slovenia and still have many thousands of citizens there who speak Slovene as their native language?
May I respectfully suggest you don't look down on people who can't fully control their emotions and cry. You don't know their background and the reasons for their sensitivity. Maybe.turn to God and ask Him why? God bless you.
This song actually makes me shed tears.. That doesn't usually happen..♥
Sjajna pesma! Sjajna pevačica! Sjajan hor! Pozdrav od Srbina iz rumunskog grada Timișoara! (Temišvar).
With this beautiful song I feel the pain also in my heart. I was born and lived 35 years in East Germany. This was my HOMELAND I lost.
Now my life is very good thanks to my own work and efforts. But my life at that time was better thanks to the people, the solidarity...! I miss it.
Listen also her song...

So many beautiful talented young people? Slovenia rocks!!! I became yours biggest fan. NAZDAR!!!
Such a heartfelt rendition of a sad and mournful song, however emotional and deep. How hard it is to feel that your homeland has been divided and that people have been separated; nonetheless, the spirit of brotherhood shall prevail forever. This is a very intense and powerful song. Ernestina is such a brilliant singer. I hope everyone around the world has the chance to know her and enjoy her privileged voice. She deserves it!
From Holland one word beautiful
Listen to the silence of greatness in the end. You left people speachless Ernestina!

You’re quite right I’m a South Londoner.
I’ve had many a holidays in the West Country over the years including couple of trips to Glastonbury.
I’m now singing as a tenor in four different choirs.
Currently in rehearsals for Beethoven No9 and Carmina Burma.
The correct name is :
" Carmina BURANA " !!!...
To je ultra emotivno.Pesem domoljublja, pesem ki ti seže do srčke srca. Ko ti dah zastane.
Slovenia, my homeland...never separated from my heart, how I long for you...and what young musicians created and honoured our homeland....you lifted my spirits...If small country of 2 million people have so many passionate and dedicate musicians...there is future...not all is lost. Best wishes to you all. Lepe pozdrave from Toronto, Canada
Lep pozdrav v Kanado iz Kranja.
Lepe pozdrave iz Nemčije v Kanado

"Niemieckie parcie na wschód" Was też nie ominęło?, u nas było to bardzo widoczne i tragiczne w skutkach, a co powiedzą Serbołużyczanie? Pozdrawiam Słowian
Lepe pozdrave i od Melburn, Australia
Echo przekazuje ta pieśń od góry do góry w całej Słowenii
Najboljša in najlepša slovenska pevka. Hvala in čestitke za odličen prispevek k slovenski kulturi.
Gospod dirigent, vam in vasemu simfonicnemu orkestru pripada Presernova nagrada, ce je se nimate. Vrhunski ste,

Her singing is pure perfection! Thank you lovely little lady!
Przepiękne bardzo i przepieknie wykonane♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Ernestina Jošt is an incredible talent. I am amazed that she is not performing on the stages of the Metropolitan Opera and opera houses of that caliber.
Totally agree. But from her body language I wonder if she wants fame and fortune and only loves to sing with her beautiful, amazingly pure voice.
Pozdrawiamy naszych braci Słoweńców.
Beautiful beyond description.
Beautiful,, just beautiful!
Beautifull voice
Zelo pogosto poslušam to lepo in žalostno pesem. Vsakič me zelo gane besedilo, glasba, zbor in predvsem nastop s čudovitim glasom Ernestine Jošt.
Morda se boste temu smejali, vendar se pogosto zalotim, da ploskam, tako kot občinstvo, s ploskanjem.
(Upam, da sem jasno napisal.)
Lepo in jasno napisano
@@boyan64 Hvala za kompliment. Ampak bom iskren: potreboval sem pomoč.
Fantastic! Beautiful song! Wonderful voice! Thank you, young lady!
This song is very beautiful and very sad but it reflects the suffering of a heroic people like the Slovenian, who will never be alone again, it is our Ally, the United States will be with Them
You are such a lovely person Jorge, giving so much love and hope to this wonderful nation at this difficult time. I loved your comment. Warm regards from sunny Melbourne
To make your words gold. Thak you from Ernest Skok from Slovenia
Respect 🇺🇸🤝🇸🇮🙏❤
BUT NOT WITH JOE BIDEN!!!!🤣🤣😂😅
very nice.
Ernestine, Sissel, and Mirusia are three of the best modern day vocalists!
Zadziwiające jak wiele łączy Słowiańskie narody! To wspaniałe , że siła Słowian jest tak ciągle potężna. Czas by te ludy Słowiańskie znów się połączyły!!!
Amazing performance💕
It s just amazing!!!
Easily one of the best soprano voices I've ever listened to. Great song & performance.
This performance is out of this world. The solist is unique with a voice that soothe both soul and heart.
The orchestra keeps a perfect balance with the choir and the solist. From my heart I sincerely say: thank you, thank you very much.
A moment of sweetness in a world in turmoil.
If I knew this was what I could expect in heaven, I would never again be afraid of dying.
Beautiful and talented... Thank you.
So beautiful to listening to angel sings

Merci pour c'est merveilleux moments. 👍🥰🥰🤗🤗🇨🇵
I like the serious performance of the orchestra members, but it is a song that includes the singer's neat appearance, beautiful voice, and mournful melody
On ne peut rester insensible à une si belle chanson, une si belle voie, et l'orchestre et la chorale. Il me semble voir les trois vallées,
Simply beautiful! Without even watching the English translation, I was moved by the poignancy, yearning, aching (I don't have the words) that this young woman conveyed by her voice. Such sadness there is in this World; how little we know of one another's despair & longing.
listen also the angel of my country (Netherlands) 10 years !!!, you will not believe it....; ://ruclips.net/video/n66udAMmCDM/видео.html
You are so right
Beautiful and touching music! Amazing leading singer, conductor, choir and orchestra!
Apart from the powerfully poignant message this song sends to Ukraine, its amazing how much Ernestine's incredible voice has developed during the past eight years.
Prelepa! V človeku vzbudi neka nepoznana čustva shranjena nezavedna v genih!
Wonderful and emotional voice! Bravo Ernestina!
Merci pour cette diffusion très émouvante...
Magnifique interprétation de la soprano Ernestina Jost . Ovation également à l'orchestre.
music art beauty and feelings
very emotive song peace on the world
BEautifull
