The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (Czech: Filharmonici města Prahy)… Read Full Bio ↴The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (Czech: Filharmonici města Prahy) is a professional philharmonic symphony orchestra. It is predominantly composed of Czech and Slovak classical and jazz musicians. The orchestra started out, after World War II, in 1947, as the in-house full orchestra regularly playing music for film, television and animation productions at the world famous Barrandov Film Studios, in Prague, as well as the historic Krátký Film productions (meaning "short film," in Czech), and the former Czechoslovak Television.
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.

Loved Ones and Leaving
The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics

When I worked in the mill weavin' at a loom
I'd gaze absent minded at the roof
And half the time the shuttle oh tangle in the threads
And the warp get mixed with the woof, if I loved you

But somehow I can see
Just exactly how I'd be

If I loved you, time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know

If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go

Longing to tell you, but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know, how I loved you, if I loved you

Longing to tell you, but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know, how I loved you, if I loved you
