The activity of Polish pre-war singing societies in the area of the Second Free City of Gdańsk was originally growing out of patriotic motives. Emphasizing Polish roots and cultivating national traditions was the most important premise for joint amateur singing. Gradually, however, the musical awareness of singers and their artistic ambitions also increased. The Polish community organized conducting courses were and educated youth at the Polish Conservatory of Music. In addition to eminent representatives of the native population, such as Tadeusz Tylewski, the group of those involved in the construction of the choral movement in pre-war Gdańsk was expanded by Kazimierz Wiłkomirski, whose arrival to the city was of enormous importance for the development of the Polish musical potential. At first, Gdańsk choirs performed popular repertoire – stylized folk songs, religious and occasional songs. In the 1930s, however, the works of the old masters and modern Polish choral music – the works of Żeleński, Maklakiewicz, Szymanowski, Szeligowski, and Wiechowicz – were reached. These repertoire items testify to the significant expansion of the executive potential of Gdańsk teams. Wiłkomirski and Tylewski also wrote to their needs, adapting their work to the specificity of the Polish musical life in prewar Gdańsk.
