His known works are largely in the concertato style,
and Szweykowski suggests that the way "in which the
words are given full expression" means he is likely to
have composed secular vocal works in addition to the
surviving sacred corpus. In his mass O glorioso domina
and one of his instrumental canzonas, Mielczewski
quotes popular Polish tunes; the latter is notable for
being the earliest documented use of the mazurka in
classical music.

Although this piece was originally written for Concerto
a 4 for Bass, 2 Violins, Bassoon and Continuo, I
created this interpretation of the "Deus in nomine Tuo"
(In the Name of God) for Winds (Flute, Oboe, Bb
Clarinet, French Horn & Bassoon) & Strings (2 Violins,
Viola, Cello & Bass).
