These three pieces, sung in old Slavonic and Moravian dialect, offer a compelling portrait of Janácek, a former Brno monk. He became acquainted with ecclesiastical traditions and local folklore, first in the monastery choir and then at the organ, where the spoken language permeates the music. His patriotism and humanist fervour is reflected in all his work and here his grandiose 'Slava' [Gloria] proudly celebrates Slavic culture.
