The Opening of the Wells

The Opening of the Wells "(Otvírání studánek)" (1955) is the chamber cantata by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959).

It was composed in June and July 1955 in Nice, France to the text of Czech poet Miroslav Bureš. It was written for female chorus, contralto and baritone solos, reciter, two violins, viola and piano. The composition was dedicated to "Miroslav Bureš and our Moravian Highlands".
