Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt AT presentation of selected works by A. Glinkowski (1941–1991), composed in the last years of life of the composer. The following works are characterised: Concerto notturno for harpsichord and chamber orchestra, cantata Chwila westchnienia and Sinfonia mesta e tranquilla for alto (baritone) choir and symphony orchestra. The discussed works by Glinkowski were erroneously forgotten and do not function in a wider performance circulation at present. They certainly are part of valuable composition oeuvre of the Silesian region, certainly not worse than the works by Henryk Mikoáaj Górecki, Wojciech Kilar, or Eugeniusz Knapik. The basic value of the article is reminding and describing these works.
