- Summary/Abstract:The essence of the paper consists in the discussion of the activities whose purpose is to produce the positive development of a songster in amateur choir ensembles. On the basis of the long-standing experience of the author in the work with amateur choirs she indicates progress and success as the determinant of artistic activities in a songster ensemble.

- No. of Pages:23
- Keywords:jazz; the directing of bands; the Big Band of the Uniwersytet Zielonogórski; conductor; rhythm-related issues
- Summary/Abstract:The present article discusses two crucial areas of the work of a conductor with a big band type of band: the musical area (the concept and the interpretation-related area) and the extra-musical (organisational) area. It also indicates the substantial role of the competence of the leader in the work with an orchestra as far as the musicianship, the organisation-related skills and interpersonal communication are concerned.The thesis which was put forward in the considerations is the following: at the stage of the particular skills of the band which are acquired (when the comprehension of sheet music is taken for granted), the weight of the directing of a band is shifted to the sphere of other competences of the conductor.The author emphasises the verbal commentaries and the indications contained in sheet music which are crucial for the process of interpretation. He also explains the role and the tasks of the conductor in the context of the art of conducting on the basis of an example furnished by the work with a jazz-profile orchestra (The Gestures of the conductor).The many years of experience of the author with big band-type orchestras, and particularly the activities and the achievements of the Big Band of the Uniwersytet Zielonogórski became a basis for the presentation of the conductor also in the role of an organiser and an educator.

The text presents the types of brass bands, with a detailed description of the instrumentarium. In order to enhance the presentation of the peculiarities of amateur brass bands, the Author presents the line-up of the orchestra he leads, the arrangement of the orchestra during concerts and marching (parades), and the criteria of inclusion to the orchestra. The author also focuses on the realisation of works based on national dances in the orchestra. He also presents exercises whose mastery is intended to yield correct intonation, articulation and dynamics in the orchestra band.The basis of all band-related activities is constituted by the appropriately understood discipline of work and active cooperation of all band members. It also furnishes a great deal of situations which facilitate noble competition. The band members are united by a common goal, which forms their attitudes and integrates the band. Participation in a band performs a very important role – it enables the appealing management of one’s free time. In the course of common activities, band members develop links of friendship, team spirit, support and kindness.

- Summary/Abstract:This year, the Kazimierz Fober “Gaude Cantem” International Choir Festival will be held for the tenth time in Bielsko-Biała. The history of the celebration of the song Gaude Cantem, for this was the original name of the event, dates back to 1996. It was in that year that “Gaude Cantem” was organised for the first time in Oświęcim, as the most important festival of songster ensembles of the year based in the Bielsko Branch of the Polish Association of Choirs and Orchestras. The venue for the first three editions of “Gaude Cantem” (1996–1998) was provided by Oświęcim. Subsequently, the event was transferred to Bielsko-Biała where the event was to be organised ever after. Since 2001, each time the programme includes the following: a competition-based festival and afternoon concerts organised in Bielsko-Biała and in various towns of the bielski region. The most recent stage in the history of “Gaude Cantem” began in 2005 when an international competition became a part of the event. Among the choirs which participated in the Festival in 2005–2013 there were representatives of the Czech Republic, Latvia, Macedonia, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Estonia, Ukraine and Poland. Since 2012 the festival is accompanied by musical workshops for choirs whose representatives are interested in them. For three years, the programme of the Festival was also enhanced by a seminar for choir conductors. The programme-related novelty of this year’s 10th anniversary edition will be the Festival of the Senior Citizens’ Choirs. During 18 years the humble one-day Celebration of Song was transformed into a magnificent four-day International Festival of Choirs, which is attended by the best songsters and the brilliant conductors from Poland and beyond. “Gaude Cantem! – Enjoy the song!”. Let the joy of singing become a true determinant of the Festival. Let the beautiful choral singing develop the artistic sensibility of the performers and the audience, let it integrate communities, let it make people live in a better world.

She defined its melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and textual structure and she found the folk sources, describing the extent to which they were used in the treatment of the composer. She demonstrated the practical means of solving execution-related problems which appear in the process of the realisation of the work with an amateur ensemble.

- Summary/Abstract:Józef Świder – an honorary member of the Silesian Association of Choirs and Orchestras, was honoured by the Laureateship of the Century presented by the Association of the Silesian Associations of Songsters… In the private notes of the 1990s he wondered: “Will there be my legacy in this movement?”. In 1968–1974 in the then Silesian branch of the Polish Association of Choirs and Orchestras he performed the function of an artistic director. The protocols of the Association, the “Śpiewak Śląski” periodical and the Warsaw-based “Życie Muzyczne” (originally “Życie Śpiewacze”) preserved distinct marks of this activity. A significant role in the development of the contacts of the young musician with choirs was played by the church choir of the St. Anne parish in his native town of Czechowice. It was there that Świder established the Stanisław Moniuszko choir in 1955. These early musical experiences account for the permanence of the warm and reciprocated relation of the composer with the songster movement. The popularisation of his figure and his output is supported by various initiatives (the Józef Świder International Festival of Music in Cieszyn, the Polish-wide “Cantus” Choral Festival in Katowice). Thus, the academic and the amateur songster movement celebrates the memory of the artist, teacher and social activist, the creator of works which are performed in great international events and during friendly meetings of the enthusiasts of songs.
