---
Moravian composer. He attended the schools in Opava and Freiberg where
was considered a proficient student, but the origins of his musical
education remain unknown. He arrived in Częstochowa after graduating. On
21 September 1814 he entered as a 'novititate' and one year later he
took his monastic vows and assumed the name Cyril. As a monk he attended
the lectures of philosophy and theology in the General School of the
Polish province in Jasna Góra and in the monastery of Warsaw. After two
years he was ordained and he assumed the cantor post of the order in
Jasna Góra. In 1817 he was transferred to the St. Sigismund monastery in
Częstochowa and later to the church in Konopiska. From there he came
back to Jasna Góra where he resumed his musical activity until 1819.
Since 1820 he assumed a post of preacher and confessor of the Francis
Xavier German Brotherhood in Warsaw. There he translated his surname to
Gieczyński. In 1823 he left the order and assumed a priest post in
Niegów, where he remained the rest of his life. As a composer he mainly
wrote sacred music when he was active at Jasna Góra. His extant output
comprises 2 masses as well as other minor religious works.
