Orawa for chamber string orchestra crowns a series of Wojciech Kilars compositions inpsired by highland folklore. Since its first performance in Zakopane in 1986 it has been a hit in concert halls delighting with its spontaneity energy and temperament. In an interview the composer mentioned that he had ''dreamed of creating a piece inspired by highlander band and realized this dream in Orawa.' It is pretty much a piece for a magnified folk band and one of the rare examples where I`ve been happy with my work.'' (K. Podobi ska L. Polony Ciesz si darem ycia). The set (score & parts) is renting material.
