The pre-Lent period, which used to be
known in Poland as “zapusty” or “mięsopusty”, is a time of winter
entertainments, masquerades, processions and balls. The word carnival as such derives
from Italian carnevale (“farewell to
meat”) as well as other words which denoted roughly the same. All, however, spoke
of a break from meat-eating in preparation for the Lent and the later Easter. Skowronki for the Shrovetide will tie in
with carnival moods with choral arrangements of dance and dance-inspired music.
