0:00 The warm spring (flutes): the source of the Vltava.
0:29 The cold spring (clarinets): the two brooks meet and form the Vltava.
1:11 Vltava: the main theme.
3:15 Hunters' horns: the river passes through a forest hunt.
4:10 Polka: a village wedding dance by the river.
5:49 Rusalka: beautiful water nymphs in old Czech legends, bathing in the river by the moonlight amid the ruins of ancient castles. Muted strings, flutes, harps and horns. Calm yet mysterious.
9:04 Return to the main theme
10:03 Our river enters the raging St. John Rapids. Stormy and turbulent.
11:19 Main theme recap. Having cleared the rapids, now in a bright and cheerful major key.
11:45 Vyšehrad theme: the Vltava salutes the great castle, seat of the Czech nation. Cymbals. Goosebumps.
12:41 The music slowly fades away as our river says farewell and flows on into the distance, as it always has since time immemorial.
Truly one of the most evocative pieces of music ever written.

Sorry, mariandrake1942. The river flows from South to North. Just upstream, there is a large hydroelectric dam. Its' confluence with the Elbe about 20 miles north of Prague is guarded by two huge coal fired power stations, Mělník I and Mělník II. Mělník III has just been closed. Between Mělník and Prague, the river is canalised. There is a river port in the North of Prague served by large barges which travel up the Elbe from as far away as Hamburg, and, via the canal system, from Berlin and from the Rotterdam. Just so that you know, "Moldau" is a German name. The correct name is "Vltava"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd3bIIaz3Kg Considered to be sacrilege by some but Karel was at the top of Czech and Slovak light entertainment for nearly 60 years. Following an outpouring of grief at his death in 2019, he was given a state funeral.
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H1ukxdYlXs&t=6012s Go to 1 hour 36 minutes and watch for 30 seconds. You will then hear the beautiful song/hymn so often used at funerals in Czech R set to the Scots-Irish Appalachian tune "New Britain".
The words begin:
Už z hor zní zvon, už tmí se kraj Already, from the mountain tolls the bell. already darkness falls upon the land
A s ním tvůj syn šel spát And with Him, thy son hath gone to sleep
Všem přej týž sen, všem píseň hraj Let us all, wish we, sweet dreams, Let us all, the tune play,
Mír strun, mír snů mám rád The peace of strings, the peace of dreams, have I (we) love.
It goes on, "Already from the mountain tolls the bell, already sleeps thy stable ..... lay down thy spade."
Enjoy !

I am a native Czech. Every time I hear this song. My soul is clenched, with national pride.
And so to all of you. I am sending greetings from my homeland. Old Czechs.

Ahoj Jarda, I can understand your feelings well. I heard 'Vltava' for the first time when I was about 14 years old. We finally had an old radio. That's now 70 years ago, but I still remember it well. Even then I felt something with this wonderful music, something I couldn't explain. But it was something like a deep connection with the country through which the Vltava flowed. And it has not changed until today. - Greetings from Good Old Germany, my home country, but it's not the part where I was born. That is much further in the east.
@jesperkunukegede906
This was the first piece of classical music I remember my mother played for me in my childhood in Greenland - I was 7-8 years old, so for about 50 years, this music has been in my heart. Today I live in Budapest, partly due to my love for Central and Eastern European music. I can understand your pride.
