POLISH MASTERS

“The development of Polish music was closely connected with the history of Poland. Music flourished during the periods of its independence and prosperity, and declined in the years of partition and depression.” – Feliks R. Łabuński

​Poland is rich in beautiful cathedrals and churches, and prominent Polish composer Mikołaj Zieleński had links to both Płock and Gniezno cathedrals. 

He was Kappelmeister to the Archbishop of Gniezno, and wrote in an exhilarating polychoral style similar to that of early Monteverdi and G. Gabrieli. These scores come from his only surviving output – two books, encompassing 117 works, published in Venice in 1611. It is impossible to know if he was inspired directly by the Venetian masters; his music certainly seems to reflect this. Not much later, in 1655, Sweden invaded, permanently interrupting musical life across the country. Even if sources have survived, the devastation caused by World War II has made them impossible to find. 

Alongside the music of Zieleński, we will be exploring music by his near contemporaries, both those who served at the courts in Warsaw and Kraków, and those working abroad. We are excited to invite you to sing this rarely performed music in the magical setting of St Barnabas. ​
​
​VENUE: St Barnabas Church, St Barnabas Street, London SW1W 8PF
​TIMING: 19:30-21:30 (doors at 19:15)
