Here’s a song I wrote and performed in Polish with Late Middle Polish orthography - there is very little distinction between Modern Polish and Late Middle Polish, so any Poles out there likely won’t hear the difference. This time it’s about the glorious King Jan Sobieski and his famed Winged Hussars at the Battle of Vienna. The Holy Roman Empire was under siege at Vienna by the Ottoman Turks, who were close to taking the city until the warriors of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (among others) came to the rescue by storming down Kahlenberg mountain on horseback in their renowned winged armour, lances at the ready. The amazing quotes in the bridges and the Latin quote at the end are from King Jan Sobieski himself. My wife is Polish, so this is in some way dedicated to the legacy of her ancestors and her people. I have spent quite some time living in Poland, learning the language and getting to know the wonderful folk there. As such, I wanted to show my appreciation to them and my respect for Poland in some way, and this seemed like a nice way to do it. I hope you enjoy!
