The first monograph of the life and oeuvre of Marcin Mielczewski
(d. 1651) presents the best known Polish composer of
seventeenth-century Europe. During the 1990s, while exploring a
newly accessible collection of music manuscripts from Silesia (the
Sammlung Bohn) held in the Berlin Staatsbibliothek, the author
found 37 compositions signed M.M., which she ascribed to
Mielczewski. This discovery, representing more than half the
composer's known legacy, fuelled a considerable rise in interest in
Mielczewski's output among musicologists and musicians. In this
book, the current state of knowledge about Marcin Mielczewski's
life and work is presented within the context of the musical
patronage of King Ladislaus IV Vasa of Poland and his brother,
Bishop Charles Ferdinand.
