Description
 
At the turn of the 13th century the earliest song in the Polish language, Bogurodzica, was created. Both the text and the melody were probably written by one unknown but talented author.   Jan Dlugosz, a famous Polish chronicler, calls it, "the song of our fathers" (patrium carmen).  Bogurodzica, which refers to the Virgin Mary and is well known also today, was initially sung in churches to be adopted with time as the battle song of Polish knights.  They sang it before the battle of Grunwald (1410), Naklo (1431), Wilkomierz (1435). In the 15th century it served as Poland's national anthem.  Please enjoy this hymn along with 13 other medieval Polish classics.
