Adolf Dygacz’s Pioneering Research Directions

Selected Aspects

Summary/Abstract: Projects popularizing the achievements of Professor Adolf Dygacz, car¬ried out on the occasion of the digitization of the archives of the eth¬nomusicologist at the Museum “Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park in Chorzów”, seem to be of fundamental importance for the maintenance and preservation of the local musical heritage in the era of current chang¬es and uncertain fate of vanishing traditions. One of such undertakings was the temporary biographical and musical exhibition „Życie jako pieśń. Z teki profesora Adolfa Dygacza” (Eng. “Life as a Song. From the Portfo-lio of Professor Adolf Dygacz”). Interesting ethnomusicological materials by Adolf Dygacz, pioneering at the time, collected by him under the in-fluence of his interest in the mining and metallurgical culture, still have many unexplored elements. This text highlights some of them – those that are not emphasized too often when Adolf Dygacz output is being dis¬cussed. And they are certainly worth attention and further research.
