Górecki in Context: Essays on Music

This volume gathers interviews with and studies of the music of Henryk Miko¿aj Górecki (1933-2010). Interviews span his career (1962-2008) and studies are by Górecki scholars from Poland, the U.K., the U.S., and Australia. Chapters highlight three symphonies: the Second Copernican (Kiwa¿a), the Third Symphony of Sorrowful Songs (Trochimczyk) and the Fourth Tansman Episodes (Wendland). Two studies by eminent scholar and Górecki's personal friend, Prof. Teresa Malecka present his links to tradition and his piano music. The volume also includes an overview of Górecki's career, list of works, music examples, portraits, photographs, and a bibliography.
