Abstract

The article discusses some aspects of the work of Paweł Łukaszewski (b. 1968), a Polish composer working at the Frederic Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. Łukaszewski’s musical works primarily consist of sacral music. The article describes the features of his compositional techniques, inspiration derived from early music and the use of rhetorical figures in three works: Luctus Mariae, Via Crucis and Resurrectio. All works are written for Latin texts. Luctus Mariae – for the contemporary Latin poetry of Jerzy Wojtczak-Szyszkowski, the other works for liturgical texts and passages from the Scripture. Łukaszewski describes his musical language as “renewed tonality”. In the presented works, the author introduces the following musical rhetorical figures: saltus duriusculus, exclamatio, aposiopesis, suspiratio, dispositio. The lineup and deliberative use of a formal course in these works is also symbolic.
