Note Moravian folk-songs lyrics (from Sušil's collection). *** Martinů probably began the composition already on Christmas 1933 in Polička (source: Zdeněk Zouhar, preface to the edition by Tempo, Prague 1933). *** Lyrics of the song No. 1 were set to music again in the oper Miracles of Mary, H 236 (3rd Act, The Nativity) Lyrics of the song No. 2 were used again for the music of Songs on One Page, H 294 (No. 6, The Dream of Virgin Mary). Variation of the lyrics of the song No. 3 became a model for the first of Three Sacred Songs, H 339 (Lord's Birth).
