About the composition

Around 1919, Martinů wrote Dva mužské sbory (Two Male Choruses) on Lithuanian folk poetry, but up to now they are thought to be lost. The premiere took place in Prague 2 March 1919 and it was performed by Jihočeské pěvecké sdružení (South Bohemian Choral Society) under the baton of Josef Masopust. The composition was never published.
