A Polish carol
This is one of my favorite Polish carols. Reminds me of a lullaby sung by loving Mother:
Krystle is singing Gdy śliczna Panna…:https://ising.pl/nagranie/e96qv2uq07b,Koleda-Gdy_Sliczna_Panna
Zdrowych i spokojnych Świąt i wszystkiego najlepszego w Nowym Roku - Warmest wishes of the season and a Happy New Year
One of my students Krystle Clark, an American who grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. She is studying the Polish language in hopes to one day be bi-lingual. She discovered a love of singing in her high school choir and, combined with her talent for dancing, acquired a Musical Theater degree at Western Kentucky University. She performed in parades and shows at Walt Disney World for several years and then decided to move to New York City. She met her partner Martin Mundzik, who is a Polish American, on a movie set and, through his encouragement, began discovering a love for the Polish culture.
Here is a link to a beautiful carol Silent Night in Polish sung by Krystle:
