"Sarka" is the third tone poem in Bedrich Smetana's composition, "Ma Vlast"… Read Full Bio ↴"Sarka" is the third tone poem in Bedrich Smetana's composition, "Ma Vlast" ("My Fatherland" in English).
It is named for the Amazon warrior who is the heroine of The Madiens' War, an ancient Czech legend. Her women hide while she ties herself to a tree. When Prince Ctirad comes to rescue her, she claims to be the women's unwilling captive. After she is released, Sarka gets the prince's companions drunk on mead. He, of course, falls madly in love with her, so, at her behest, he sounds a hunting horn. This is the signal for the other Amazons to come out of hiding. They do so and kill all the men, including the prince.

Asi ma nejoblibenejsi cast Vlasti. Pan Smetana byl genius.

Smekám před studenty, Bělohlávek je výborný a Šárka je vedle Vltavy moje neoblíbenější část Mé vlasti.

@sgsmozart Hi, Steven. Thank you for your kind words This is the best advertisement to visit the Czech Republic :-)) Prague is beautiful, but our country has to offer even more... San Francisco Symphony with Tilson Thomas played two concerts in Municipal House-Smetana Hall (an orchestra on this record). They had a great success! Great Orchestra, great players, excellent conductor! Greetings to Frisco
