Turn It Up

Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki, one of the mostoutstanding representatives of Polish Baroque music, came from Upper Silesia. He was born about 1667. The compositions included in the present edition were never printed in his lifetime, but like the rest of his output, were performed from manuscript copies. They reflect the creative trend in which the artistic guiding principles and media of palestrina's "stile antico" cross with newer ones, characteristic of the "stile moderno". The texts of which the compositions now published are based are examples of early Christian liturgical petry composed according to the principales of Latin metrical versification. The form of the works under discussion in characterized by progression in small sections, which is in turn determined by the structure of the lityrgical text and it is realized mainly by way of the motet method of chorale treatment, so popular in German sacred music of seventeen century. In the hymns the scoring is precisely defined - it consists of a four-part vocal ensemble (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), two violins and an organ, whose part was notated in the form of figured bass. The vocal parts form a compact group, nearly always accompanied by instruments. The sources of present edition are the manuscript scores prepared by A. Chybiński from the individual parts written by the composer. Since the manuscripts used by Chybiński were destroyed by fire in the National Library in Warsaw during the Second World War, the Editorial Notes refer exclusively to the copies, and not to the originals.
