About the composition

In the Garden at the Roost (V zahradě na hřadě), H 77, is a simple verse-and-refrain song in which the mother thrice tempts her daughter with suitors, who are rejected on account of their trade, before she accepts the shepherd. A sketch with singing part and only hinted piano accompaniment has survived. It is an adaptation of the text of a folk song from the collection of František Sušil (1860). The recording of the composition was released for the first time by Naxos in 2014 (Martinů: Songs, Vol. 2 – The Months; Jana Wallingerová, Giorgio Koukl).
