Abstract:
This article is a new version of a lecture by Marek Podhajski titled: Andrzej Koszewski - master of choral music. The author gave it in 1993 at music school in Reykjavik. He speaks about treating the choir as a musical band, a new approach to the lyrics and dependencies between the both. As the effect of Koszewski’s choral music research, the author discovered three levels of lyrical and musical dependency. He named them: 1) semantic and emotional relation, 2) phonic and interval relation, 3) phonic and sound relation. This kind of categorization of relations mentioned above is a sign of originality and an insightful exploration of Andrzej Koszewski’s achievements in the choral music field.
