Baroque Music – Part 5
Baroque is an era mainly associated with splendor and ornamentation. The beginning of this era in music is considered to be the end of the 16th century, and the end of this period is marked by the death of Johann Sebastian Bach (1750). Interestingly, this era in music is completely different from other art forms...
The Polish Chamber Choir Schola Cantorum Gedanensis* belongs to the narrow circle of the world elite of fully professional chamber choirs. The ensemble founded in 1978 by Ireneusz Łukaszewski, has been under the direction and artistic leadership of Jan Łukaszewski since 1983.
One of the greatest composers of classical music in the Baroque era. In addition to writing magnificent works, he was also an active musician.

In the film "Baroque Music – Part 4", fragments of unjustly forgotten baroque compositions are presented, performed by the soloist of the Polish Royal Opera, Iwona Leśniowska-Lubowicz. Polish baroque is not only associated with Sarmatians and opulent churches, but also with beautiful music. The baroque period, which lasted from the 17th to the 18th century, was a time when various musical genres developed and outstanding composers emerged. Baroque was characterized by the richness of sounds, counterpoint, and ornamentation in compositions. This groundbreaking and innovative approach to music influenced the development of musical art for many years to come. In the film, we can hear fragments of baroque works that are rarely performed today. Accompanied by an exceptional instrumental ensemble, Iwona Leśniowska-Lubowicz interprets these compositions with skill and sensitivity. Her voice perfectly conveys the character of baroque music, which is characterized by clarity, expression, and ornamentation. It was also important to emphasize the Polish contribution to baroque music. Poland, despite often being overlooked in the history of music, had its outstanding composers who created during this period. It is worth bringing their works back to life and learning more about Polish baroque. The film "Baroque Music – Part 4" is a valuable lesson in musical history that allows us to expand our knowledge about baroque and Polish music of that period. Thanks to such an approach, we can discover new sounds and feel the beauty and depth of works that are still relevant and inspiring. I happily recommend this film to all lovers of baroque music and those who want to deepen their knowledge on the subject.
This episode about Baroque music in Poland is a true gem! Iwona Leśniowska-Lubowicz has an amazing voice that fits these compositions perfectly. I am glad that I can discover previously unknown Baroque pieces. The additional accompaniment also adds charm to this performance. I have to watch the rest of the mini-lectures on Baroque music right away! I recommend it to everyone who wants to broaden their musical horizons.
