Summary/Abstract: The article describes how to present vocal music in the most complete edition of Kronika of Marcin Bielski (1564). The view of the linguistic formation of this fragment of reality in an idiolectic approach from the 16th century confirms the use of several groups of words to describe this part of music that Bielski considers singing: the names of the melodic process of producing sound (śpiewać, odśpiewawać, przyśpiewawać, śpiewanie), what is sung (antyfona, cantica, gradał, hymn/hymna, kantyki, pienie, pieśń, proza, psalm, psałterz, responsyja, śpiewanie, żołtarz) and singers (psalterzysta, śpiewaczka, śpiewak). The conducted analyzes showed some features of Bielski’s lexical and research workshop and confirmed that his work is the beginning of perfecting the Polish language in many areas of its functioning.
