Description
In the 17th century, musical life picks up momentum in Poland as Polish musicians readily embrace the novelties of Italian Baroque. Mikolaj Zieleński thus spends some time in Venice where he has a collection of sacred works published. As early as 1624, Tarquinio Merula leaves Venice for a post as organist at the court at Warsaw. At about the same time, Marco Schacchi has some of his operas and ballets performed there.
Italian influence shows in the compositions of local musicians such as Marcin Mielczewski, Adam Jarzębski or Sylwester Szarzyński and can even be felt at Gdansk, where Carlo Farina then resides, in the works of composers born from Lutheran communities, such as Crato Bütter or Kapsar Förster. This is probably why, as a remembrance of these contacts with Polish popular music, composers from Italy, as Picchi, or Austria, as Schmelzer, will compose dances said alla Polacca, imitating Polish bagpipes.
