About the composition

In Song of Hanička, H 80, from 1912, Martinů sets the text of the poem Honzíček by the Wallachian poet Josef Kalus (1855–1934). The poem appears under this title in the 1934 collection Wallachian Romances. The story deals with a deserter's encounter with a girl with whom he immediately falls in love and whom he later marries. A recording of the piece was first released by Naxos in 2015 (Martinů: Songs, Vol. 3 – The Rose; Jana Hrochová Wallingerová, Giorgio Koukl).
