OCZAROWANIE ANGIELSKIM BAROKIEM W GROUND KRZYSZTOFA BACULEWSKIEGO
ENCHANTMENT WITH ENGLISH BAROQUE IN KRZYSZTOF BACULEWSKI’S GROUND

Summary/Abstract: References to the music of the past, and such is the baroque music, was characteristic of many Polish contemporary composers: Tadeusz Baird, Bolesław Szabelski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Zygmunt Krauze and Eugeniusz Knapik among others.This incomplete list should be supplemented with the name of the eminent composer Krzysztof Baculewski. When it comes to baroque forms, he focused his interest on the English ground. Inspired by this form, he composed an orchestral work entitled Ground in 1981. Several sections resembling the composition of a speech can be distinguished in this work: exordium, narratio, confirmatio, confutatio, culminatio, conclusio.Krzysztof Baculewski’s work in a well-thought out and consistent manner alludes to the ground technique and contains each of its characteristic features. It is an example of cantus prius factus in cantum novum of the composer engrossed in the music of the past time, and yet composing in his own, individual, mature language.
