The Trumpeter of Krakow is a colorful programmatic piece which depicts the ancient legend of a trumpeter who saved Krakow from the Tartar invasion of 1241 by sounding a warning and, in doing so, sacrificed his own life. The music includes the "Hejnal," an authentic Polish hymn which is played today in Krakow on every hour in memory of the ancient trumpeter.
