00:00 We sang about Poland and for Poland.
00:04 In the first part you heard songs of Polish composers,
00:08 such as Fryderyk Chopin, Stanisław Moniuszko, Paderewski, etc.
00:12 In the second part, together with over 120 people,
00:18 we performed Polish patriotic songs.
00:21 It was an amazing meeting,
00:25 because on one stage the younger and the older ones sang,
00:29 so they prepared a rich repertoire of patriotic songs.
00:33 The instrumental band was accompanied by
00:38 Livia Szumala on the trumpet, Robert Adamczak on the piano,
00:41 the double bass Tobiasz Michna and Mirosław Skowroński on percussion.
00:45 In the first part, I had the pleasure of singing with my dear friend,
00:50 tenor Dariusz Pietrzykowski.
00:52 I must admit that when organizing such a project,
00:56 I was surprised that children do not know patriotic songs.
01:00 It is not that they took a recorder and sang,
01:03 that they associated any songs.
01:06 No, we learned every "wojenko, wojenko",
01:10 "Przybyli łani pod okienko" and so on.
01:12 I am very proud that these young art adepts,
01:16 these young Poles, will always have patriotic songs in their repertoire.
01:21 Trzebnica is a beautiful place,
01:24 a place I like to come back to.
01:27 I feel good, good people, peace and joy
01:32 that we can give concerts here.
01:35 This is a moment when, coming back to all that we have experienced over the centuries,
01:43 we are aware that we live in a free country,
01:48 we owe a lot to many people,
01:50 to our national heroes.
01:54 And the remaining beautiful memories,
01:57 which in poetry, in various kinds of songs, in songs,
02:02 we can somehow, listening to them,
02:06 thank God and these people
02:09 that it all went so differently.
02:12 Sometimes I wonder what would happen if.
02:15 Of course, no one needs it,
02:18 because it really is as it is.
02:21 But such moments, even here in the basilica,
02:24 which has heard more than one,
02:27 they are like a wind in a saddle.
02:30 Because then a person realizes
02:33 that these values are necessary to all of us,
02:36 that thanks to these values we can become better for each other.
02:40 And we can also, in some way,
02:43 thanking ourselves, create this reality.
02:46 This is important today, especially when we are also experiencing war,
02:50 because we look to the east, to the Middle East.
02:53 We see that sometimes values are running away from us,
02:56 as if a little through the fingers.
02:59 And such moments that stop it and accentuate it,
03:03 show that it is worth it, that it is worth being good for yourself,
03:07 that it is worth listening to everything that the generations left us
03:12 as a little drop, a good drop,
03:16 that it is worth discovering it all over again,
03:19 to live with it, to share it with others,
03:22 and to pass it on to the next generations.
