Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, one of the most renowned Polish composers, died on 12 November 2009. Athough he is no longer present among us, his music lives on. Sadly, many of contemporary musicians did not or did not want to notice the music composed by Professor Górecki. Some listeners got shocked, others were astonished by it. The music, aesthetic and philosophical values of his III Symphony were only discerned after 17 years. The triumphal return to Poland of the III Symphony’s scores arouse the great, unprecedented worldwide, interest in H. M. Górecki’s compositions. This unbelievably modest artist, both in life and in art, remained uncompromising until the end.Henryk Mikołaj Górecki created his compositions while being deeply rooted in the Polish tradition, particularly folk and religious, which was his source of inspiration. Before developing his own style he went a long artistic way. Always openly declared his origin that can be heard in his compositions and in his views of which he was never ashamed. He lived an austere life among his highlanders, disregarding his fame, solemn banquets and presents.During the last 20 years I have been privileged to perform Professor Górecki’s choral music with ten choirs, including 4 professional ones at the distinguished concerts, competitions and festivals. The choral music has been recorded on 12 CD records featuring various performers. With the assistance of the Choir of Polish Radio and as requested by the composer, I delivered several first performances of his works.I am a great debtor to the Professor for his teaching me humbleness towards music, humbleness towards every artist, co-performer and myself.

Tematyka śmierci i rozważania dotyczące późniejszego losu duszy człowieka na przestrzeni wieków wielokrotnie stawały się inspiracją do stworzenia utworów literackich, muzycznych oraz plastycznych. W polskim folklorze muzycznym motyw ten był również wykorzystywany. Przykładem mogą być pieśni: średniowieczna Dusza z ciała wyleciała oraz pochodząca z 2. połowy XX wieku Ach, mój smutku. Jednym z wybitnych polskich kompozytorów klasycznej muzyki współczesnej, którzy podjęli temat losu duszy po śmierci człowieka, był Wojciech Kilar. Lament powstał w 2003 roku, w ostatniej fazie twórczości kompozytora nazywanej nurtem narodowo-religijnym. Lament został skomponowany na mieszany chór a cappella. Kompozycję wyróżnia prostota, autor zrezygnował z charakterystycznych dla swojej twórczości sonorystycznych brzmień na rzecz skromnych układów nawiązujących między innymi do tradycji chorału gregoriańskiego.

The subject of death and reflections on the subsequent fate of the human soul have repeatedly inspired the creation of literary, musical and artistic works over the centuries. This motif was also used in Polish musical folklore. An example can be the songs: the medieval song Dusza z ciała wyleciała (Eng. Soul Flew Out of the Body) and a song from the second half of the 20th century Ach, mój smutku (Eng. Ah, my sorrow). One of the outstanding Polish composers of classical contemporary music who took up the subject of the fate of the soul after human death was Wojciech Kilar. Lament was written in 2003, in the last phase of the composer’s work, widely known as the national-religious trend. The Lament was composed for a mixed a cappella choir. The composition is distinguished by simplicity, the author abandoned the sonoristic sounds characteristic of his work in favor of modest arrangements referring, among others, to the tradition of Gregorian chant.

The article is devoted to study of the substantive vectors of Iannis Xenakis’ choral music. The author elicits the crucial themes declared for the first time in the 1960s, which have preserved their relevance during the course of the composer’s entire choral output. Also, the author di-scusses particularities of the interactions between the text and music, and the specificity of the timbral solution of the compositions, making it possible to speak of both the influence on the choral writing of the composer’s contemporaries and of the individuality of the creative man-ner of Xenakis himself. Within the framework of textural analysis, the main varieties of texture characteristic for Xenakis’ compositions of that time period are educed: along with the newest techniques of “artificial reverberation” and elements of diagonal organization, we can enco-unter the types of musical exposition characteristic for compositions of romantic composers – homophonic-harmonic, chordal, homophonic-polyphonic, and strata texture, as well as the classical techniques of juxtaposition of soli – tutti. Such a combination of traditional and the newest techniques of choral writing is analogous to the coexistence of techniques of phoneme composition and a strict adherence to ancient literary sources. In total, all of this stipulates the brilliant individuality of Iannis Xenakis’ choral musical legacy.

Andrzej Koszewski jest jednym z najwybitniejszych kompozytorów Polskich ubiegłego stulecia. Szczególne miejsce w jego dorobku zajmuje muzyka chóralna, która stanowi przeważającą część całej twórczości artysty. Aby ukazać jej różnorodność, w pierwszej części artykułu przedstawiono klasyfikację muzyki chóralnej Koszewskiego według różnych kryteriów i krótko ją scharakteryzowano. Następnie poświęcono uwagę muzyce sakralnej. Zgodnie z tematem pracy przedstawiono argumenty za wykorzystaniem jej w ramach liturgii. W oparciu o literaturę i przykłady dwóch odmiennych stylistycznie mszy udało się wykazać, że muzyka sakralna Andrzeja Koszewskiego posiada wszelkie cechy muzyki liturgicznej. Ze względu na jej wysoki poziom artystyczny oraz głęboki wyraz duchowy warto zadbać o to, by była wykonywana nie tylko podczas koncertów, ale także w ramach liturgii.

Education and formation are the two key words of tremendous importance in the activity of the International Federation of Pueri Cantores. Learning the Christian values and deepening faith both derive from the identity of and identification with the group which Pueri Cantores is. Creative education, commonly associated with musical formation of young people, is a peculiar quality characterizing this church movement. The Pueri Cantores actions performed in many countries of the world, counting today almost 40, prove the growing effectiveness and popularity of this Federation. And such is are the aims which were officially approved by its Presidents in the document ratified in Paris last year.The history of the Pueri Cantores community has featured a great number of excellent tutors and educators. Their remarkable activities are certified by their living pupils, acting and developing worldwide. Amongst these magnificent pillars of the Federation was Siegfried Koesler, deceased two years ago, a great friend of the Polish Federation of Pueri Cantores and of the main celebrator of today’s anniversary. The entire international community of Pueri Cantores Presidents, Correspondents and Guests shall meet on 24–26 October 2014 in Würzburg so as to commemorate this great and good teacher. At the funeral service of Siegfried Koesler at Würzburg cemetery on 5 December 2012 I said on behalf of the International Federation of Pueri Cantores: „Thank you fory your shiny example. You were for us a living sign of God’s presence amongst us. Your thoughts and deeds shall remain in us for they have stayed alive in our hearts. You will live in us. Your remarkably good manners, culture and life, permeated with God’s presence, will always be an inspiration and encouragement for us in our aiming at ideals, to which you were invariably faithful” (R. Tyrała, The 10th Letter of President of FIPC, Kraków 2014. Archives of the International Federation of Pueri Cantores in Rome). It is a matter of undeniable certainty that the modern world, the modern Church and we ourselves need such authentic educators and authorities.May the conclusion of these few thoughts on educating through music, as exemplified by the Federation of Pueri Cantores, be the words expressed by the man who, like anyone else, knows how to run a choir, and educate and form young people: „I believe, working with a choir in respect of human activity belongs to a hierarchy of values. Because man as such is a value himself. And this man, whether a child or an adult singing in our choir, whom God provided with abilities to sing and with musical sensitivity, and whom He entrusted to us, choirmasters so we would educate, tutor and form, is truly worth a trial” (A. Zając, Chór kościelny – środowiskiem edukacyjnym, wychowawczym i formacyjnym. Sacred Choir – An Educational, Tutorial and Formative Environment, w: Pro Musica Sacra, t. III, Kraków 2006, p. 80).

This article is devoted to my own Lenten choral and organ music. At first, I introduce my motives for undertaking creative activity, which include, among others, the atmosphere of my family house (my father, Wojciech Łukaszewski, was a composer). My inspiration to take up choral music was a ten-year collaboration with the choir of the Academy of Catholic Theology (currently Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw) under the management of the Reverend Kazimierz Szymonik. In the latter part of the article, I introduce my choral works, list the titles and then focus strictly on Passion and Paschal music. I present the circumstances in which those pieces were created, the details of their first performances and recordings, the texts they used and, furthermore, analyze them, paying attention to the most distinctive features of my composing technique and style.

Artykuł jest poświęcony własnej muzyce chóralnej i organowej o tematyce wielkopostnej. Na początku przybliżam motywy podjęcia przeze mnie działalności twórczej, na co m.in. miała wpływ atmosfera domu rodzinnego (ojciec, Wojciech Łukaszewski, był kompozytorem). Inspiracją do podjęcia muzyki chóralnej była natomiast dziesięcioletnia współpraca z chórem Akademii Teologii Katolickiej (obecnie UKSW) w Warszawie pod dyrekcją ks. Kazimierza Szymonika. W dalszej części artykułu przybliżam twórczość chóralną, wymieniam tytuły utworów, a następnie koncentruję się na utworach już stricte o tematyce pasyjnej i paschalnej. Przybliżam okoliczności ich powstania, informacje o prawykonaniach, nagraniach, wykorzystanych tekstach, a następnie przeprowadzam krótkie analizy, zwracając uwagę na najbardziej charakterystyczne cechy mojej techniki kompozytorskiej i stylistyki.
