| Added by magataganm, 27 Nov 2019 Waclaw z Szamotul (1520 – c. 1560), also called Waclaw Szamotulski and (in Latin) Venceslaus Samotulinus, was a Polish composer. Waclaw z Szamotul was a student at the Lubranski Academy in Poznan later studying at Kraków University in 1538. In 1547 or 1548 he was appointed composer to the court of Sigismund II Augustus. In 1555 Waclaw left Kraków, having received the title of "royal composer." Nevertheless, during Szamotuly's lifetime his music was known outside of Poland. He died early, and only a few of his works survive. In the words of Szymon Starowolski, who wrote the first concise biography of Waclaw, "If the gods had let him live longer, the Poles would have no need to envy the Italians their Palestrina, Lappi or Vedana." His motets In te Domine speravi and Ego sum pastor bonus were the first Polish musical compositions to be published abroad. According to Gustave Reese, Waclaw's style may be seen in both of these motets; "the constant overlapping of phrases and full-fledged imitative style reveal Franco-Netherlandish influence."

Although originally composed for Chorus (SATB), I created this Interpretation of the "Pieśń o narodzeniu Pańskim" (Song of the Nativity) for Brass Quartet (2 Bb Trumpets & 2 French Horns). | |||
