Říkadla (Nursery Rhymes), First Set, JW 5/16
by Leoš Janáček
Eight songs for 1–3 mezzo-sopranos, clarinet, and piano, composed 1924. Settings of traditional Czech and Moravian nursery rhymes. Witty, compressed, and rhythmically inventive — entirely characteristic of Janáček's late style applied to the most innocent of texts. Duration approximately 8 minutes.
