Bogurodzica - Polish Battle Hymn

  • Vocals and arrangement by Farya Faraji, the painting is "Battle of Grunwald" by Jan Matejko. Bogurodzica is a Polish, medieval Catholic hymn composed somewhere between the 10th and 13th centuries, with its likely author being Saint Adalbert of Prague. Though originally a liturgical hymn, it soon evolved into a battle chant used by Polish warriors, and was chanted on the 15th of July 1410 during the Battle of Grunwald by Polish knights allied to Lithuania prior to their engagement against the Teutonic Order. Since then, it was used for centuries as a battle hymn.
    With this in mind, I decided to arrange and orchestrate the hymn with both aspects in mind; both as a liturgical one and a battle one. I tried to go for as historically accurate a rendition as possible for an early 14th century Polish palette: all the instruments were used at the time in Poland and are all used, to my knowledge, in accordance with historical accuracy. Central among the instruments are the hurdy-gurdy, called Lira korbowa in Polish, and the bagpipe, called Dudy or Kobza. Both are some of the most commonly heard medieval instruments in the region, and the hurdy-gurdy in Central and Eastern Europe indeed survived its Western European counterparts past the 18th century, still being used to some degree as far as the mid 1850's in countries like Poland and Ukraine whilst its use had largely died out by the 1700's in Western Europe. Another peculiar instrument is the Jaw harp, which I've heard time and time again in medieval reconstructions of Carpathian, Ukrainian, Polish and other countries' music in the region. Much of the basis for my choice of instrumentation was the Polish band Jar, which I recommend you check out if you're interested in medieval Polish music.
    Lyrics in Old Polish:
    Bogurodzica dziewica, Bogiem sławiena Maryja!
    U twego syna Gospodzina Matko zwolena*, Maryja,
    Zyszczy nam, spuści nam!
    Kyrie eleison!
    *Note that I changed the melodic phrasing of the words "matko zwolena" for my own interpretation, but most versions won't phrase it that way. Many other words were phrased differently for my own interpretation, keep that in mind.
    Lyrics in English:
    Virgin, Mother of God, God-famed Mary!
    Ask Thy Son, our Lord, God-named Mary,
    To have mercy upon us and hand it over to us!
    Kyrie eleison! (in Greek)

      One little thing. "Kobza" is not bagpipe, this is modern mistake. "Kobza" is string instrument. Only "Dudy" are nagpipe. Mistake probably comes from.fakt, that "dudy podhalańskie" (form of bagpipe) is commonly called "Koza" which means goat.

      Not only, all Poles remember 1410 and 1683 and many other occasions that this hymn was sung - always a capella! and chorally. Never any instruments were used as an accompaniment, this arrangement is very peculiar, and not very faithful historically, just a fantasy, I’d say.
      Besides, we are taught this song and about it at schools, it’s very important part of our history.

    Great video. Bogurodzica was the song that Polish knights were singing before the battle (like in Grunwald). There is however another song worth mentioning. It's called Gaude Mater Polonia, and it was sung after a victorious battle. Both songs are sometimes considered to be the first (unofficial) anthem of Poland (Polish Kingdom, or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth).

      Unfortunately, we don't have any evidence of Jan Žižka participation in the battle itself. We know that he was a mercenary under the banner of Jan Sokol of Lamberk, he commanded the banner of St. George, but whether Žižka was that day at the battlefield or wasn't is not 100% sure. I think he was, it's the most possible scenario, but yeah - can't say for sure.
      The other thing I think is that it would be better if Matejko portrayed Jan Sokol instead of Žižka if it comes to historical accuracy and importance of those characters at that time, but of course Žižka is more known due to his later deeds.

    There is also historical confirmed by sources XII century songs "Pieśń Rycerzy Bolesława Krzywoustego" in english "Song of Bolesław Krzywousty Knights"
    and "Bolesławie, Ty Przesławny Książę" in the latin "Boleslaue, Dux Gloriosissime!"
    Songs was write in the "Cronica et gesta ducum sive principum Polonorum" writed by "Gallus Anonimus"
    Song : "Song of Boleslaw Krzywousty Knights"
    Here is text in Latine and Modern Polish :
    "Pisces salsos et foetentes apportabant alii,
    Palpitantes et recentes nunc apportant filii.
    Civitates invadebant patres nostri primitus
    Hii procellas non verentur neque maris sonitus.
    Agitabant patres nostri cervos, apros, capreas,
    Hii venantur monstra maris et opes aequoreas."
    In modern Polish :
    "Naszym przodkom wystarczały ryby słone i cuchnące,
    My po świeże przychodzimy, w oceanie pluskające!
    Ojcom naszym wystarczało, jeśli grodów dobywali,
    A nas burza nie odstrasza ni szum groźny morskiej fali.
    Nasi ojce na jelenie urządzali polowanie,
    A my skarby i potwory łowim, skryte w oceanie!"
    ua-cam.com/video/yEcMN5B5EHA/v-deo.html
    Song : "Boleslaue, Dux Gloriosissime!"
    In Modern Polish :
    "Bolesławie! Bolesławie! o chwalebny panie!
    Jakże bacznie, jak gorliwie bronisz twojej ziemie!
    Czy to we dnie, czy to w nocy, czy to we świtanie,
    Twoje oko za nas czuwa i samo nie zdrzemie.
    Gdy sądzimy, że cię marnie trupem już położym,
    Ty nas dzierżysz, jak w więzieniu, w twej potężnej sile.
    Taki bojak godzien rządzić całym światem Bożym,
    Który garstką umie zwalczyć nieprzyjaciół tyle.
    Chociaż cesarz wszystkie wojska na ciebie uzbroi,
    Ciebie jednak nie powstrzyma prawica niczyja.
    Królowanie i cesarstwo takiemu przystoi,
    Kto zastępy maluczkiemi wielkie siły zbija.
    Jako niegdyś z Pomorszczyzną, tak się z nami sprawi,
    Naszą dumę upokorzy i zuchwalstwo skarci,
    I po wrogach pokonanych swój tryumf odprawi,
    I wypędzi nas z ojczyzny, jak jesteśmy warci.
    On wojuje z poganami, jako Niebios plaga,
    A my walczym z chrześcijany, jak nam za nic wiara.
    Stąd mu zawsze do zwycięstwa sam Bóg dopomaga,
    Na nas pomści się za zbrodnie i słusznie pokara."
    In latin :
    "Boleslaue, Boleslaue, dux gloriosissime,
    Tu defendis terram tuam quam studiosissime
    Tu non dormis nec permittis nos dormire paululum
    Nec per diem, nec per noctem, neque per diluculum.
    Et cum nos te putaremus de terra propellere,
    Tu nos tenes ita quasi conclusos in carcere.
    Talis princeps debet regnum atque terram regere,
    Qui cum paucis tot et tantos ita scit corrigere.
    Quid si forte suos omnes simul congregaverit?
    Numquam cesar sibi bello resistere poterit.
    Talem virum condeceret regnum et imperium,
    Qui cum paucis sic domabat tot catervas hostium.
    Et cum nondum recreatus sit de Pomorania,
    Sic per eum fatigatur nostra contumacia.
    Et cum illi cum triumpho sit eundum obviam,
    Nos e contra cogitamus expugnare patriam.
    Ipse quidem cum paganis bella gerit licita,
    Sed nos contra christianos gerimus illicita.
    Unde Deus est cum eo faciens victoriam,
    Nobis vero iuste illatam iniuriam."
