Antonín Dvořák: Symphonic Poem "The Noon Witch (Polednice) ", Op. 108, B 196 (with Score) Composed: 11 January - 27 February 1896 Conductor: Bohumil Gregor Orchestra: Česká filharmonie The Noon Witch (or The Noonday Witch; Czech: Polednice), Op. 108, B. 196, is a symphonic poem written in 1896 by Antonín Dvořák which was inspired by the Karel Jaromír Erben poem Polednice from the collection Kytice. Polednice is based on the noon demon "Lady Midday" of Slavic mythology. It is one of a set of late orchestral works inspired by national themes which were written after his return to his native Bohemia from the United States. "Lady Midday" Synopsis A mother warns her son that if he does not behave she will summon the Noon Witch to take him away. He does not behave, and the witch arrives at the stroke of noon. The witch, described as a horrible creature, demands the child. The mother, terrified that the witch has actually come, grabs her son, and the witch begins chasing them. Finally the mother faints, grasping her child. Later that day, the father arrives home, and finds his wife passed out with the dead body of their son in her arms. The mother had accidentally smothered their son while protecting him from the witch. The story ends with the father's lament over the terrible event. 0:03 Allegretto 1:12 Poco più animato, non tanto 2:30 Andante sostenuto 2:55 Allegretto Tempo I come prima 3:59 Poco più animato, non tanto 5:42 Andante sostenuto e molto tranquillo (come proma) 7:07 Più animato, ma non troppo 7:31 Andante sostenuto e molto tranquillo 8:54 Più animato, ma non troppo 9:18 Allegro 10:56 Meno mosso, Allegretto 11:22 Andante 13:05 Più lento 13:24 Maestoso
