"Má vlast" is a symphonic poem cycle composed by Bedřich Smetana, a prominent Czech composer. Completed between 1874 and 1879, it consists of six pieces that celebrate the beauty and history of Bohemia, the region that is now part of the Czech Republic. Each piece evokes different landscapes, legends, and historical events, reflecting Smetana's deep national pride. The most famous segment of "Má vlast" is "Vltava," which musically depicts the journey of the Vltava River through the Czech countryside. The work is often performed by orchestras and is considered a cornerstone of Czech classical music, symbolizing the cultural identity of the nation.
