"Jabúcko Fuc, vetícku, z podolé" is a choral work composed by Leos Janácek in 1907. The piece was premiered on December 15, 1907, in Brno, Czech Republic. It is part of a collection of folk songs arranged for choir, which Janácek called "Moravian Folk Poetry in Songs." The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct character. The first movement, "Jabúcko Fuc," is a lively and energetic dance in 2/4 time. The second movement, "Vetícku," is a slower and more contemplative piece in 3/4 time. The final movement, "Z podolé," is a fast and rhythmic dance in 2/4 time. Janácek's arrangement of "Jabúcko Fuc, vetícku, z podolé" is characterized by his use of traditional Moravian folk melodies and rhythms. The piece is scored for a mixed choir, with the melody often passed between the different sections of the choir. Janácek also employs a variety of vocal techniques, including yodeling and falsetto, to capture the unique character of the Moravian folk songs. Overall, "Jabúcko Fuc, vetícku, z podolé" is a lively and engaging choral work that showcases Janácek's skill in arranging traditional folk music. Its use of traditional Moravian melodies and rhythms makes it a valuable contribution to the canon of Czech choral music.
