In
composing songs, which
Moniuszko wrote from his
youth to the end of his
life, he was guided by a
definite idea. He wished
to present Polish society
with national, Polish
songs, which could occupy
an important place in the
everyday life of the
Polish people, so
displacing imported
trash. In a similar way
Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski,
with an extensive and
comprehensive series of
novels, supplanted the
French romance, so
popular, especially with
contemporary ladies.
Having composed a
considerable number of
songs, Moniuszko
conceived the idea of
publishing them in
separate books under one
general title: Songbook
for Home Use. The title
of this collection is
significant evidence of
the composers intention:
these songs are to be
used at home by every and
any body in all the
different circumstances
of everyday life. They
should suit the different
moods and needs of the
heart, so resulting in
rich diversity. [Witold
Rudzinski].
