Trumpet calls of Polish cities

In Polish cities and towns, trumpet calls are played daily, usually at midday, or hourly from a high tower, typically of a town hall or an old church. Most of these calls have been created in imitation of the most famous one in Krakow.

• Bielsko-Biała
• Burzenin commune
• Działdowo
• Głuchołazy
• Gorlice
• Iława
• Kalisz
• Katowice
• Kielce
• Krakow
• Krotoszyn
• Łódź
• Płońsk
• Suwałki
• Tarnów
• Tuchów
• Warsaw
• Wrocław
• Zduńska Wola
• Żory

Some of these calls are based on other songs, compare, for example, the trumpet call of Łódź with Prząśniczka or that of Warsaw with Warszawianka (1831 roku).
