​Four Folk Songs, Op. 20, B 50 - Antonin Dvorak
NOTE that Dvorak originally set these folks songs as vocal duets,
and then later arranged them for SATB chorus. The audio links to recordings are thus the duet versions,
not the full SATB. Nonetheless, they will give you a good understanding
​of what the piece should sound like.

These are tracks from the album "Dvoraák: Complete Choruses & Duets"
No. 1 - Transformations
