Philip Moran has arranged five traditional Polish folk songs for solo guitar, drawn from five distinct regional traditions. Each song carries the melodic character of its region, and the arrangements treat the material lightly — these remain recognisable as folk tunes rather than concert showpieces.
Cieszcie się dziewczęta (Be Glad, Girl) — Silesia
Podróżniak (The Wayfarer) — Lublin
Polka (Dance) — Mazovia
Zasło słonko, zasło (Sunset) — Rzeszów
Oberek (Dance) — Kujawy
