The following repertoire of Rolnicka is only for your guidance, it is planned for the season 2006/2007.
It is specified according to prearranged concerts and tours. The areas of church music, secular (both world and czech) music, artificial and folk songs are always covered.
About 20% of our repertoire is accompanied by the choir members themselves; they play mostly string and woodwind instruments.
During our December tours Rolnicka´s performance consists of Christmas music of last ten centuries. In the first half we usually sing church music written by both Czech and foreign composers, from gothic period until now. The second half of the performance contains Czech, European and other folk carrols.

Another part of our repertoire consists of music by Czech and foreign composers since renaissance, and Czech folk music. A concert for schools, retirement homes, etc. based on the previous repertoire can be arranged according to an individual wish.
Many organizers are interested in concerts with completely Czech repertoire. In these frequent cases we sing both secular and church music of Czech classics (Myslivecek, Kopriva, Ryba), romantics (Smetana, Dvorák), 20th century and contemporary composers (B.Martinu, Z.Lukáš, J.Novák, P.Eben) and Czech folk songs.
