Below: a scene from Andrzej Wajda’s Pan Tadeusz an adaptation of Adam Mickiewicz’s 19th-century epic poem.
Original music composed by Wojciech Kilar, composer and pianist, author of orchestral music, chamber vocal-instrumental and piano compositions, and scores for the theatre and cinema.
ALE KSIĄŻKI / AND YET THE BOOKS 
I love pageantry and music!!!
Pageantry! A new word in my English vocabulary, thank you Rebecca! A short information about music: men of Warsaw are dancing „polonez” (fr.polonaise, eng. Polish) a national Polish processional dance full of dignity and joy.
A have forgotten to inform about this music’s composer. His name is Wojciech Kilar. I have just published a scene from a popular Polish movie. This „polonez” was created for it.
The music is sensational. A lovely performance I’d say.
Uzoma, I agree with you: the music is sensational. By the way: do you know that a Member of the Polish Parliament is Hon. J. A. Godson from Nigeria?
What beautiful dances with exquisite costumes. Thank you Wanda. xox 😀
And what about your national dance, Ralph? 🙂
There is this which is Maypole dancing and if you search for Morris Dancing on YouTube you will find the men dancing in villages in England. 😀
Just wonderful Maypole dance, I am smitten! Thank you, Ralph!
You are so welcome my dear friend. Have a lovely week 😀
Uwielbiam poloneza, jako mloda dziewczyna tanczylam w zespole i mialam piekna blado ruzowa suknie. Dzieki, Pani Wando za te video i wspmnienia.
Pozdrawiam sedecznie
Dzień dobry, Pani Elzbieto. Najdziwniejsze jest to, że polonez jest ciagle tanczony w czasie uroczystosci, takze prywatnych. Najczesciej odtwarza sie własnie muzyke Wojciecha Kilara ….
I bardzo bym chciala na taka okazje trafic, jest tyle piekna i dostojnosci w tym tancu i w muzyce
Serdecznie pozdrawiam, Pani Elżbieto!
Lovely videos, Wanda. People obviously find great need and pleasure in dancing with grace. So few opportunities aside from these historical celebrations.
I think that this feast is an essential part of our national spirit. Best wishes to you, Cheyenne.
Swirling dancers bring
Remembrances of times past
Grateful tears of joy
A haiku I wrote while thinking of these videos.
I appreciate it a lot, Cheyenne!

I used to see films from Andrzej Wajda, before, in my film days. He was one of our heroes.
Good day, friend! Wajda is great indeed! I have publish here one of his most excellent movie scene: the dancers of joyful Polish dance in beautiful native realm are sitting at a humble flat in Paris as the aged emigrants in helpless situation without homeland and hope.
Thank you for being here!
