Summary/Abstract: Oratorio as a musical form is not very well represented among Polish music artists.Therefore, it is worth to mention the existence of a composition which premiered beforethe war but is no longer performed today. All the more so that it is a work based on theextremely popular Polish folk worship act as well as that its author is a composer andmusic activist valued before the war and creating in the capital of Małopolska. Lentenlamentations by Kazimierz Garbusiński received good reviews before the war. Accordingto the experts in his music they are the best music piece created by the composer and theydeserve not only to be discussed but also to be performed in our times.
