Summary/Abstract: The author presents the role of stylised folk song(s) in the repertoire of the “Harmonia” Choir of the University of Silesia and of the “Ad libitum” Chamber Choir. She also presents the significance of the modern-day choir song based on folklore and the means of the presentation of the given repertoire for the purpose of the popularisation and the cultivation of songster traditions. The author presents the example of songs contained on the Z biegiem Olzy CD, where the authentic song performed by folk songsters is confronted with the choral treatment of inter-war composers, and the conductors of the “Harmonia” Association of Songsters in Cieszyn.
