Rota (An Oath), Polish national song – Eugeniusz Mossakowski, baryton Opery Warszawskiej z udz. Chóru W.Lachmana i orkiestry pod dyr. Bronisława Szulca [Baritone of the Warsaw Opera acc. By the W.Lachman’s Choir and the orchestra dir. by Bronisław Szulc] Syrena-Electro, 1931 (Polish) NOTE: Today, on 1st of September, the day of anniversary of the outbreak of 2nd World War – which ended for long time the independent existence of Poland and started many decades of Polish national and cultural decline towards almost total annihilation during war and post-war years of the German-Soviet occupations - I’m presenting here the “Rota” (An Oath) - one of the most important songs ever written in Poland. “Rota” is a Polish patriotic hymn, written in 1908 by a Polish poet Maria Konopnicka, to the music by composer Feliks Nowowiejski. It was created as Polish answer to the increasing Germanisation of Polish citizens under the Prussian rule in the 19th/20th century (in the time when – until the 1st World War – territory of the former Polish Kingdom was partitioned between three empires: Russia, Prussia and Austria). “Rota” consists of four stanzas, written in the form of an oath formula, in which Polish nation promises God to keep its national identity and Catholic faith. Song was first made public by hundreds of choristers on 15th July 1910 during the unveiling of the Grunwald Monument in Kraków – the ceremony held on the 500th anniversary of the Polish victory over the Germans in the Battle of Grunwald of 1410. Combined choirs from across the whole of the former Polish state met on the Grunwaldzki Square in Kraków, to create a monumental national call for freedom, sung by thousands of throats, under the composer’s direction. After Poland regained its independence in 1918, “Rota” was the first candidate to become the national anthem, to be replaced later by the “Dąbrowski Mazurka”. In the history of the 20th Century, “Rota” was sung on all situations when the extreme threat to the nation’s existence appeared. Therefore, it was often sung in public during the martial law in Poland in the 1980s: interestingly, the second verse "... Until the Teutonic onslaught/ falls apart into dirt and dust” was then replaced with "... Until the Soviet onslaught/ falls appart into dirt and dust”. In 1991 “Rota” became the anthem in the Polish ethnic autonomous district, created as part of the Republic of Lithuania by the Poles living in territory of the former Polish Kingdom, which now is a part of Lithuania. / Eugeniusz MOSSAKOWSKI +••.••(...)) Polish operatic singer, one of the best baritones in Europe in his generation. He sung in the Grand Theatre in Warsaw in years 1921-39, although his artistic career had been started by him in late years of his life, after he was 32 years old. After the 2nd World War, he withdrew from the artistic career and devoted himself entirely to teaching.
