Zygmunt Mycielski i Zbigniew Herbert. Correspondence

Summary/Abstract: This is an edition of the correspondence between Zygmunt Mycielski and Zbigniew Herbert, covering the years 1972–1984, preceded by an introduction. The content of the letters centres around the composer's plans to compose a song cycle to the poet's words. Ultimately, two Mycielski's works are inspired by Herbert's poems – Six Songs for orchestra (1978) and Eight Songs to words by Zbigniew Herbert for baritone and piano (1984). These works, like the letters published here in full, remain a valuable testimony to the relationship between the poet and composer, drawing an important trace of mutual artistic inspiration.
