A unique Polish Christmas carol from 17th century, which was stolen by Swedish troops during their invasion of Poland in 1655, had a premiere at a concert in Stockholm.
The lyrics were discovered in the Skokloster Castle, near the Swedish capital, where they lay forgotten for almost 350 years. Written in old Polish language, the carol had to be modernized to be understood by contemporary Poles. Music was also composed to suit the old octosyllabic verse.
