One of Kilar's remembered works is the piece "Ziemia Obiecana - Walc," which was used as the soundtrack for the film "Ziemia Obiecana" directed by Andrzej Wajda. Kilar, being one of the most important Polish composers of film music, has etched his name in the history of cinema with his unique compositions. Wojciech Kilar was born in 1932 in Lviv. He studied at the Krakow Conservatory and the Music Academy in Katowice. His creativity was inspired by various musical currents, but romantic music and folk and ethnic music had a significant influence on the development of his style. Kilar often used minor scales, which gave his compositions a melancholic and dramatic character. "Ziemia Obiecana - Walc" is an excellent example of Kilar's ability to create music that captures the mood of the film and emphasizes the emotions of the characters. This waltz is melodic yet incredibly atmospheric, reminiscent of the Viennese waltz in its form. The composer skillfully combined elements of classical music with modern sounds, creating a piece full of starry brilliance. The era in which Kilar worked marked the revival of Polish film music, which gained recognition on the international stage. His artistic value was appreciated by none other than Andrzej Wajda, with whom he collaborated over many years. Kilar created exceptional compositions that helped in crafting unforgettable cinematic images. Wojciech Kilar passed away at the age of 81, leaving behind a vast artistic legacy. His compositions will forever remind us of the great talent and contribution he made to cinema. "Ziemia Obiecana - Walc" is not only an excellent example of his creativity but also a tribute to his many years of work and musical genius. His music will continue to be with us and will surely inspire future generations of creators.
This video is a fragment of one of his compositions - the Waltz from the film "The Promised Land." When I listen to this music, I feel as if I am discovering mysterious places and experiencing extraordinary adventures. Kilar was able to create an exceptional atmosphere and transport us to a world full of emotions and tension. His music is full of power and beauty, and at the same time, it can touch the deepest strings of the soul. I am glad that I could get to know his work and draw incredible strength from it. Although he has passed away, his music will live on forever. Thank you, Wojtek, for the beautiful sounds that have accompanied me for many years. Your works will always be an inspiration to me.
