Gorécki – Symphonie No.3 – 2nd Movement
Henryk Gorécki (1933) is a polish composer of contemporary classical music. Górecki’s most popular piece is his “Third Symphony”, also known as the “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs”. The work is slow and contemplative, and each of the three movements are composed for orchestra and solo soprano. The libretto for the first movement is taken from a 15th century lament, while second movement uses the words of a teenage girl, Helena B?a?usiak, which she wrote on the wall of a Gestapo prison cell in Zakopane to invoke the protection of the Virgin Mary. The third uses the text of a Silesian folk song which describes the pain of a mother searching for a son killed in the Silesian uprisings. The dominant themes of the symphony are motherhood and separation through war. While the first and third movements are written from the perspective of a parent who has lost a child, the second movement is from that of a child separated from a parent.
