Hundred years old star

It is not known about the tournament when the bugle call began in Krakow. The first documented mention of the melody comes from 1392. Centuries ago, warnings about a fire in the city against the danger – a fire by a fire invasion. At its sound, city gates were opened and closed. The city guard on the defensive walls replied to the bugle caller from the tower that he was on guard and that nothing answered the residents.
Legend has it that in 1241 the guard on the tower saw a horde of Tatars. When he sounded the alarm, an arrow from a Tatar bow pierced his throat. The trumpeter died, the melody broke off abruptly, so the Krakow bugle-call breaks abruptly.
