Where is My Home - František Škroup / arrangement Otakar Jeremiáš
The song "Where Is My Home?" - already as part of the Czechoslovak national anthem - has been arranged for various instrumental and vocal settings. Among the most renowned belongs a version for symphonic orchestra written in 1930 by the composer and conductor Otakar Jeremiáš (1892 - 1962).
Jeremiáš created three versions of the Czechoslovak national anthem altogether: firstly, it was his arrangement for grand orchestra (1930); secondly, a version for small orchestra (1932); and finally, an arrangement for organ and grand orchestra entitled "Pastoral" (Christmas 1932).
The editors used two autograph scores as the source for the publication of Otakar Jeremiáš's (1892 - 1962) arrangement for grand orchestra of the song "Where is My Home?". These are stored at the Czech Radio Archive. This version was then used in 1946 when Jeremiáš co-operated with the composer Václav Trojan (1907 - 1985) to create a new arrangement of the Czechoslovak national anthem for symphonic orchestra. The resulting score containing vocal parts was published by the State Publishers of Literature, Music and Art in 1955.
