‘Art, and within its space also music to a significant extent, is a key ingredient of social bonding and human communication. Without art, humans become stunted. This is the knowledge, unsystematised though it still may be, that I have derived from my work with choirs,’ commented Witold Szalonek. ‘It was from those people that I learned to love music.’ Szalonek conducted amateur choirs: ‘Hejnał’ at Łagiewniki Coalmine and ‘Echo’ at the Śląsk Coalmine in Chropaczów. His academic colleagues thought it was a loss of time, but this was his way of exploring the first and most original of all instruments – the human voice and singing, viewed both as a language and nearly a primal need. The album SONGS OF SILESIA comprises a collection of the Silesian master’s vocal pieces, which perfectly reflect his broad horizons. Szalonek was a visionary and an innovator, but also an artist inspired by local folklore ( On Johnnie’s Cathy , Katowice Ballad , From Opole Region , Silesian Folk Ballad for solo soprano and mixed choir) and by religious subjects ( Litany of Loreto – to the Blessed Virgin Mary , Miserere ). His music could be charmingly simple or extraordinarily complex. On this album, it is performed by Camerata Silesia Katowice City Singers’ Ensemble under Anna Szostak.
