The paper is to contribute to the description of language changes in the area of lexis. The subject of interest here are semantic archaisms: lexems and word groups which are not archaic with respect to the form but with respect to the meaning. Such archaisms are present, for instance, in the church songs of the 16th century. These songs are still sung during services nowadays. Are their texts properly understood by those who sing them? How do they understand the phrase “das gelobte Land” (promised land): as terra laudata or – in accordance with its etymology – terra promissa (the land promised by God) (the participle form is not derived from the verb loben but geloben)?

It has been largely prayer books which helped to preserve faith and Polish culture in the Upper Silesia, Poland, as they often accompanied people throughout their entire lives. A considerable number of Polish sacred songs can be found amongst the Silesian collections of prayers and chants dated from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. They were mainly chorale books with lyrics, but also music scores in the form of pipe organ accompaniments. Since the beginning of the 20th c. there were two Upper-Silesian prayer books which gained widespread popularity: Droga do nieba (Way to Heaven) and Skarbiec modlitw i pieśni (The Treasure of Prayers and Songs), published in numerous editions, including those targeted exclusively at children and youth, and at the poor-sighted readers. On the occasion of the great jubilee of 2000 the collection of sacred songs with scores was published under the title Śpiewnik archidiecezji katowickiej (The Song Book of the Katowice Archdiocese). It was completed by a collection of organ accompaniments, Chorał Śląski (The Silesian Chorale) in a similar arrangement. So as to popularise more widely the repertoires of songs, the Katowice Publishing House of Księgarnia Św. Jacka developed a project releasing a collection of sole lyrics to songs, Skarbiec pieśni kościelnych (The Treasure of Sacred Songs). All editorial attempts so far, to have been aimed at enlivening liturgical gatherings, have greatly contributed to continuing the glorious tradition of the sacred singing in Silesia.

The study of Polish religious songs shows the literary and musical values of selected works and also presents the authors of these works. This paper presents the achievements of three eminent poets: Władysław of Gielniow (ab. 1440–1505), Franciszek Karpiński (1741–1825) and Kazimierz Brodziński (1791–1835). Their activity in the field of popularization of church chant deserves to be particularly appreciated. Also the motives of fascination with religious chant are interesting. Sometimes this form of expression was the result of personal faith, sometimes it sprang from some additional motives or conditioning. The popularity of a particular poetic work depends to a large extend on its musical form. The religious chants of the poets mentioned above, though coming from various times and composed in various places are truly outstanding and popular, which makes them constantly present in the repertory of church songs. The fact that they were included in the latest edition of Śpiewnik kościelny (Church Songbook) by Fr. Jan Siedlecki may serve as a proof of keen acceptance and a sign of their belonging to cultural heritage.

Badania nad polską pieśnią religijną wskazują na walory literacko-muzyczne wybranych utworów, jak również przybliżają sylwetki samych twórców. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia najważniejsze osiągnięcia trzech wybitnych poetów: Władysława z Gielniowa (ok. 1440–1505), Franciszka Karpińskiego (1741–1825) i Kazimierza Brodzińskiego (1791–1835), których działalność na polu upowszechnienia pieśni kościelnej zasługuje na szczególne uznanie. Interesujące są również same motywy fascynacji poezją pieśniową o tematyce religijnej, czasem taka forma twórczości wynikała z osobistej wiary, niekiedy też z dodatkowych pobudek czy uwarunkowań. Duże znaczenie w upowszechnieniu danego utworu poetyckiego odgrywa forma muzyczna. Pieśni religijne wspomnianych poetów z różnego czasu i miejsca powstania odznaczają się cennymi walorami i popularnością, co sprawia, że są one stale obecne w repertuarze śpiewów kościelnych. Umieszczenie ich w najnowszym wydaniu Śpiewnika kościelnego ks. Jana Siedleckiego może stanowić potwierdzenie żywej recepcji i znak trwałego dziedzictwa.

The choice of musical repertoire for the celebration of the sacramentof marriage has become the subject of more frequent and widespreaddiscussions. Media publications on the subject which provide suggestions forthe choice published in the media and promoted cultural solutions for musicattest to the existence of a problem and the urgent need to arrive at someform of resolution. In this article, the issue of music and songs at churchweddings is presented in three parts: the first clarifies the existing problem;the second shows the cultural factors which have led to the existence of theproblem; the third part demonstrates the urgent need to formulate a rightfulsolution regarding the choice of music within the context of Christian liturgy.Suggestions for this choice put forward in the mass media, together withcurrent cultural trends, do not always advocate appropriate choices.The guidelines given to the bridal couple in order to assist them intheir choice of music should always be in keeping with liturgical law.The rules and regulations which govern liturgical law lead to a deeperunderstanding among the faithful of the true meaning of sacramentalrituals and their Christian significance. Consequently, they can never besubject to personal taste alone. Observance of these regulations ensuresthe Christian authenticity of the liturgy as ordained by Christ and theChristian community, and it enhances the aesthetic aspect; indeed, everybridal couple wishes their nuptial Mass to be beautiful. Consequently, theyshould be made acquainted with the Church’s teaching on liturgical musicalsettings. Adherence to prescribed norms not only guarantees the essentialholiness of the liturgical celebration, but also ensures that their sanctity isnot undermined, and allows for inclusive participation in the liturgy.

Father Michał Marcin Mioduszewski CM (1787–1868) published his Śpiewnik kościelny [Church Songbook] (Kraków 1838), including Polish songs from the Catholic repertoire with standardized texts and melodies for a solo voice. The printed volume was a result of the author’s search for sacred songs, which he had collected for several years since 1830 and continued after the publication. In a later publication, Dodatek do Śpiewnika kościelnego [A Supplement to the Church Songbook] (Kraków 1842), in addition to the Roman Catholic repertoire, funeral songs and scores of mass chants, Mioduszewski included a set of poetic and musical-poetic anonymous compositions in Polish with the title “Songs performed in the Greek Catholic churches of the Chełm diocese”. In the foreword to the songs, he informed the readers that the Greek Catholic repertoire was borrowed from a work titled The Biała Mission [Supraśl 1792 – O.S.] by Father Tymoteusz Szczurowski. The songs were categorized according to subject (divine, about the Holy Virgin, about the saints and daily prayers). It has been determined that in his Śpiewnik kościelny (including the above-mentioned Supplement and its subsequent continuations printed in Leipzig: Supplement II (1849) and Supplement III (1853)) Mioduszewski published a total number of 44 songs written by a Basilian missionary, Father Tymoteusz Szczurowski (1740–1812), 27 of which were published with their melodies, while the remainder were included only in textual form. In the absence of earlier sources containing scores of Szczurowski’s songs, their musical-poetic versions published in the nineteenth-century church songbook are of particular significance. There can be no doubt that this printed collection contributed to the popularization of the legacy of this Greek Catholic missionary in the nineteenth century. The published results of Father Michał Marcin Mioduszewski’s efforts saved the songs written by Basilian monk Tymoteusz Szczurowski from oblivion.

Ks. Michał Marcin Mioduszewski CM (1787–1868) wydał Śpiewnik kościelny (Kraków 1838), w którym zamieścił ujednolicone wersje tekstów pieśni z polskiego repertuaru rzymskokatolickiego wraz z ich jednogłosowymi melodiami. Ten drukowany zbiór był wynikiem zapoczątkowanej przez jego autora w 1830 roku kilkuletniej akcji zbierania i gromadzenia pieśni kościelnych, kontynuowanej także po wydaniu śpiewnika. W opublikowanym następnie Dodatku do Śpiewnika kościelnego (Kraków 1842) obok repertuaru rzymskokatolickiego, po pieśniach za umarłych i przed zapisami śpiewów mszalnych, Mioduszewski zamieścił blok poetyckich i muzyczno-poetyckich anonimowych przekazów polskojęzycznych utworów opatrzony tytułem „Pieśni w cerkwiach dyecezyi chełmskiej obrządku grecko-katolickiego używane”, podając w słowie wstępnym do dodatku informację, że pieśni unickie pochodzą z pracy pt. Misja Bialska [Supraśl 1792 – O.S.] o. Tymoteusza Szczurowskiego. Pieśni cerkiewne usystematyzowano w śpiewniku tematycznie (pieśni Pańskie, o Najświętszej Maryi Pannie, o świętych, przygodne). Jak ustalono, w sumie w Śpiewniku kościelnym (we wzmiankowanym Dodatku oraz w kolejnych, wydanych w Lipsku drukach: Dodatku II (1849) i Dodatku III (1853)) Mioduszewski opublikował 44 pieśni bazyliańskiego misjonarza o. Tymoteusza Szczurowskiego (1740–1812), z których 27 zostało wydanych wraz z melodiami, a pozostałe wyłącznie w postaci tekstów. Wobec braku wcześniejszych źródeł nutowych pieśni Szczurowskiego, szczególnego znaczenia nabierają ich muzyczno-poetyckie przekazy opublikowane w dziewiętnastowiecznym Śpiewniku kościelnym. Drukowany nutowy zbiór niewątpliwie przyczynił się do popularyzacji w XIX wieku pieśni tego unickiego misjonarza. Dzięki dokonaniom ks. Michała Marcina Mioduszewskiego pieśni bazylianina o. Tymoteusza Szczurowskiego zostały uchronione od zapomnienia.

W pieśniach kościelnych pojawia się dość często trójpoziomowy obraz kosmosu: w górze firmament, niżej ziemia, a pod nią otchłań. Obok tego zauważa się obecność dualistycznej koncepcji człowieka, złożonego z ciała i duszy. Są to relikty, dziś już anachroniczne, filozofii platońskiej. W artykule poddano analizie, z tego punktu widzenia, teksty pieśni zawartych w ogólnopolskim Śpiewniku kościelnym ks. Jana Siedleckiego CM, wyd. 41, Kraków 2015. Odnaleziono w nim liczne przykłady obydwu typów platonizmu: kosmologicznego i antropologicznego. Pokazano przy tym trudności, na jakie natrafiają próby filozoficznego udowodnienia istnienia duszy nieśmiertelnej. Stwierdzono, że Nowy Testament wyraźniej otwiera nadzieję na wieczne życie człowieka wiernego Bogu. Język biblijny zastosowany do problemu zmartwychwstania pozwala uniknąć trudności, w jakie wikłają się starożytne systemy filozoficzne. Autor wnioskuje, by przy tworzeniu nowych pieśni unikać obydwu typów platonizmu, a zachowując zabytkowe teksty pieśni, nie trzymać się kurczowo ich niekiedy anachronicznych znaczeń.

In some church songs we may observe a three-level representation of the Universe: the heaven above, the earth below, and the abyss underneath. Furthermore we observe there a dualistic conception of the human beings, composed of body and soul. These views are the parts of the Plato’s doctrine, now outdated. In this paper the texts of the church songs, contained in the all-Polish Church songbook by Fr. John Siedlecki CM, published in Cracow in 2015, have been analyzed from this point of view. Many examples of both types of Platonism, cosmological and anthropological, have been detected there. The philosophical arguments for the existence of an immortal soul, recently proposed, turned out to be unconvincing. More persuading are some texts of the New Testament, in which Jesus and his apostles ensure the eternal life for the honest and god-fearing people. The biblical sense of such words as body and soul, permit to avoid the difficulties in the ancient philosophical systems. The author postulates avoiding the above mentioned Platonic ideas in the composing of the new church songs, but at the same time the treating with respect the traditional liturgical texts, always keeping in mind that their ideological sense may be a bit out of date.
