Threnody to the Thousands Burned: Difference between revisions

'''Threnody to the Thousands Burned''' (original [[Lechian language|Lechian]]: ''Tren Tysiącom Przypalonym'') is a composition for 41 string instruments and 121 voices created by the [[Hendalarsk|Hendalarskara]] [[Lechian]] composer [[Władysław Koronowicz]] and first performed in 1974, with the intention of commemmorating those killed in the [[Atomic bombing of Cavosia]], the first ever use of nuclear weaponry in combat. Widely considered its creator's masterwork, it has been performed in a range of countries worldwide, although the formidable size of its prescribed orchestra and choir can make it a major challenge to perform.[[File:Trenpost.png|thumb|The poster announcing the work's inaugural public performance in [[Frehmenwerth]].]]
