Periwinkle Wreath

Orchestral piece based on a Polish folk song, Mój Wionecku z Barwinecku

I was inspired by Weinberg’s pieces on Polish folk themes 🙂

Periwinkle wreath, I had thee hung
on a wooden peg in the cottage wall
When people came and took thee down

Leap up, vine, climb higher
Climb aloft, poor thing

Wreath of seven herbs, I had thee hidden
for wedding time in a casket new
When people came and took thee away
