Narodowo-religijna muzyka Wojciecha Kilara w edukacji polonistycznej

The author of the article discussed selected vocal-instrumental pieces and soundtracks to the films of the outstanding composer of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries – Wojciech Kilar, from the national-religious period in his work. The text recalls the genesis and musical specificity of the works. The compositions included in the study are linked by the fact that they refer to important events in Polish history, fragments of the Old Testament, prayers or literature. These works are contemporary, but refer to the tradition and culture of the nation, so it is worth presenting them to young people. During Polish language lessons, they can provide a valuable interpretative context.
