Acknowledged as the father of the Polish opera he is also a revered author of hundreds of songs with piano accompaniment. Combining the Romantic Idiom with Polish folk music, Moniuszko reproduced, in musical forms, the brilliant lyrics of Adam Mickiewicz and numerous other talented Polish poets.The thesis of Mrs. Karaliyska-Trapkova is centered on the Polish poetry in the songs of Moniuszko. The author is analyzing the most impactful songs of the composer, explaining their genesis, and investigating their characteristics, thus making them easier to understand and interpret by young Bulgarian opera singers.
