At the time, it was somewhat smaller than today and it was called the Filmový symfonický orchestr (FISYO) (The Film Symphony Orchestra) or was sometimes known as the Film Symphony of Prague. Many wonderful international films were done by this orchestra in the early days. Recordings have been made for film production companies such as Paramount, Sony, Lucasfilm and many others in the Smecky Music Studios. David Lynch returned again in 1997 to record his Lost Highway, and yet again in 2001 to record Mulholland Drive.
Fully privatized after the Velvet Revolution, today, the musicians and supporting professionals continue to play and record music together (usually every day of the week) for major international films, television series, CDs/DVDs, video games, and even ring tones - both for the Czech Republic market and for clients & media productions around the world.

The lyrics to The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's song "V" are a repetition of a Latin phrase that translates to "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to your name give glory." This phrase is taken from Psalm 115:1 in the Bible. The repetitive nature of the lyrics serves to emphasize the message of giving glory and credit to a higher power instead of seeking personal recognition or praise.
The song is likely meant to evoke a sense of humility and reverence towards a higher being. By acknowledging that the glory belongs to a divine entity rather than to oneself, it encourages listeners to adopt a mindset of gratitude and to recognize the limitations of human achievements.
The use of Latin in the lyrics adds to the song's classical and timeless quality. Latin is often seen as a solemn and ceremonial language, infusing the lyrics with a sense of tradition and spirituality.
Overall, the lyrics in "V" convey a message of acknowledging the greatness of a higher power and attributing glory to that entity rather than seeking recognition for oneself.
