The Road to Victory. Song about a Sloe-Tree
for voice and piano
In 1950, when the main offensive aimed at encouraging composers to create songs for the masses was launched, half of these songs were created by Lutosławski: Nowa Huta, Służba Polsce (‘Service to Poland’), Naprzód idziemy (‘Forward we go’), Wyszłabym ja (‘I would marry’) and probably Najpiękniejszy sen (‘The most beautiful dream’, this could also have been written at the beginning of 1951). In the first months of 1952 he wrote Towarzysz (‘Comrade’), and Zwycięska droga (‘The road to victory’) is also from the same year. The first of three Soldiers' Songs can be dated to the turn of 1952-1953 which also belong to the category of songs for the masses, and arranged through a commission from the Ministry of Defence (Narciarski patrol, ‘Ski patrol’). The next song (Kto pierwszy, ‘Who first’) was created in 1953, and the last (Skowronki, ‘Skylarks’) – in 1953 or even early 1954. Perhaps the MoD was also the addressee of Śpiew o tarninie (‘Song about a sloe-tree’) to words by Hanna Januszewska.
