The article presents images of dance in Polish and Ukrainian picturebooks for children. The authors consider that motif of dance serves not only to present the culture and customs of a given society, but it is also a starting point to more profound, existential, and universal deliberations. Texts which are analyzed in the article show in a broader, psychological perspective of consideration, that dancing also represents experiences of a person and their emotions and have a special place in children’s subculture: it is a kind of play, gamble but above all it’s a ritualization of children’s behaviors, which is expressed in combination with music (a pattern of gestures and movement). The article illustrates a dance described in the literary text, to create visual images of a dance/dances, emphasizes rhythmicity of a poetic text, shows characters in motion, to enhance dynamism in the illustrations, presents shared happiness, unity or a happy ending and popularizes national culture. In conclusion article shows different functions of dance in literary texts and the pictures: 1). entertaining/ludic (includes comedy, humor, caricature portrayal of characters, strange poses of dancers); 2). emotive/ expressive (depictions of dance represent various emotions); 3). aesthetic – educational; 4). informative/cognitive.

The novena, one of the forms of popular piety developing in many epochs, consists in turning to God more fervently for a period of nine days, months or years, typically through the intercession of a saint, in order to obtain a favor. This article is concerned with A Novena in Honor of St. Joseph in Songs with a Litany for a Two-Voice Choir contained in a collection of Fr. Franciszek Walczyński, priest of the Tarnów Diocese, musician, and teacher. The cult of St. Joseph flourished especially in the 15th century. In 1870, Pope Pius IX proclaimed him patron of the Universal Church. Four out of the nine analyzed songs were earlier pieces which were given new melodies. The remaining ones were written entirely by Walczyński. The songs are stanzaic, mostly with four-line highly regular stanzas. Most lines have 11 or 8 syllables and exact and paired rhymes. One song has a mid-verse (intra-stanzaic) refrain. The songs have a two-part structure with various components AB retaining strict symmetry or deviating from it. The songs are highly melodious, which stems from the prevalence of seconds and thirds. The meter of the songs, with a few exceptions of 2-note melismas, is syllabic. The tonality is major-minor, with a predominance of the former. The analyzed songs are accessible and have a simple texture.
