So it is the symphonic explanation of the Hussite battle song "Kdož jste Boží bojovníci" Blanik.(tuitfl-grm.Motin) The heroes of glorious battles rest in the quiet interior of the dreamy mountain Blanik and wait for the time when they will seize the sword again. Above them shines the green of the Blanik summit, the shepherds walk around with their wandering herds, the quiet area does not know what is hidden in their depths. The Bohemian country is plagued by misery and tribulation, no help comes from any side; then the heroes in Blanik wake up from their dreams, seize their old equipment and come, bringing salvation, from the open mountain into the country. With them the lost happiness returns and the glory of the Bohemian land shines in new splendor. taunl E din Dorgan /012.43
