Oj, Maluśki

"Christmas Carols and pastorales for solo violin, presented here, were written with young violinists in mind, with the intention of providing them with the opportunity of playing such songs in a concert version. I considered quasi-capriccio, i. e. a short - piece, the most suitable form for that type of work. In addition to the basic melody, the player will find here a whole range of virtuoso effects: for example, double stops, chords, passage work, arpeggios, tremolando, cross-string bowings, bariolage, ricochet, double staccato, chromatic glissando, harmonics, left-hand pizzicato and even sul ponticello. The similarities between the carols included in the collection and the caprices by Paganini, Wieniawski and Ernst as well as the solo compositions by bach and Ysaye are not accidental. I have made stylistic diversity my aim."

Gdy się Chrystus rodzi
Dzisiaj w Betlejem
Triumfy Króla Niebieskiego
Przybieżeli do Betlejem
Do szopy, hej, pasterze
Wiwat dzisiaj Boskiej istności
Mizerna cicha
Anioł pasterzom mówił
Północ już była
Mędrcy świata
Wśród nocnej ciszy
Gdy śliczna Panna
Gdy śliczna Panna (bis)
Oj, maluśki, maluśki
Cicha noc
Lulajże, Jezuniu
Jezus malusieńki
Jezus malusieńki (bis)
