Concert Information

Górecki’s discovery of his native church and folk music left an indelible mark on his work, clearly audible in the early Four Preludes for solo piano. Here, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers combine the penetrating homophony of the Five Marian Songs with one of Górecki’s best-loved works, Totus tuus, given an emotional premiere in 1987 during Pope Jean Paul II’s third pilgrimage to Poland, as the country prepared for revolution.
