Polish organist and composer. Born in a wealthy family, he studied music
with Andrzej Niestrawski (1778-1831) and later settled in Wroclaw where
he developed a successful career as a violinist. But a few years later
he got injured and it results in a partial paralysis of his right hand
motivating his return to Gostyń where he remained the rest of his life.
There he aroused the interest of the Saint Philip Neri congregation and
in 1839 he was appointed chapel master of the Kapeli Świętogórskiej
orchestra where, apart from having 24 musicians under his supervision,
he composed most of his works, mainly religious music in Latin and
Polish languages. As a composer he was close to the classicism masters
but with unexpected musical resources, unknown and innovative in those
times. Some sources depicted him as an 'extremely humble man' and his
deep interest was 'raise the level of religious music in order to
exclusively create music related to the liturgy'.
