	PMC SITES: STANISLAW MONIUSZKO
		Stanis³aw Moniuszko was born on 5 May 1819 to the patriotic family of Polish landowners settled in Ubiel, near Minsk (now: Byelarus; he died on 4 June 1872 in Warsaw).
		The music of Moniuszko's works is largely representative of the 19-th century opera, given the extensive use by the composer of arias, recitatives and ensembles, with the exception of Straszny Dwor (The Haunted Manor), where beautifully scored choral parts testify to Moniuszko's mastery of writing for many voices.
		Moniuszko's manuscripts have not been catalogued and described; no scholarly monograph on the composer is currently available.

		Together with Chopin, Stanisław Moniuszko (1819—1872) was the most outstanding figure in 19th-century Polish music and his activity was of immense importance for the development of Polish musical culture.
		Moniuszko's works, simple, direct and written with a view to the needs and capacity of the listeners, very quickly found their way to the broadest spectra of Polish society.
		Moniuszko’s use of memorable Polish folk melodies and traditional dance rhythms, notably the mazurka, krakowiac and polonaise, make his works immediately attractive.Through his opera and songs Moniuszko established himself as the ‘father of Polish opera’, a position similar to that of Glinka in Russia.

		Moniuszko is often described as the Polish equivalent of Russia's Glinka, a pioneer of his country's national opera.
		In some places a French Auberesque vein of rhythmic and harmonic piquancy peeps through…" It's hard to say what Auber's influence was on Moniuszko but they both love using dance rhythms throughout their work, in Moniuszko's case homegrown dances such as the mazurka and polonaise.
		In 1840, he moved to Vilnius where he became involved in musical life, eventually writing his first big success "Halka", which was such a hit he was invited to be the first conductor of the Warsaw Opera in 1858.

		Stanislaw Moniuszko's Haunted Manor may well be unknown in the West, but it is a repertory mainstay in its native Poland.
		Moniuszko's Halka is even more beloved of Poles—and also just as unknown this side of the Oder and the Elbe Rivers.
		Not only did Moniuszko integrate beloved Polish songs and dances—Mazurkas, Polonaises, Varsoviennes, Polkas, Dumkas, and Krakowiaks—but he also provided his leading men and women with arias, duets, and choruses demonstrating their courage and fidelity to the ideal of Poland.

		The most important opera composer in nineteenth-century Poland, and a pioneer in the creation of a Polish nationalist style, Stanislaw Moniuszko began composing while studying music in Berlin.
		Exposure to the operas of Weber and Marschner had a profound influence on the young Moniuszko, and after composing a few comparatively slight operettas, he felt secure enough to tackle his first grand opera, Halka.
		The result of Moniuszko's labors was a hit of phenomenal proportions, but only after the composer had revised it repeatedly for a decade.

	- Stanislaw Moniuszko: Halka @ Soundbug
		It is not easy to get this opera on CD in Poland, and practically impossible everywhere else.
		Like Moniuszko and Wloski themselves (28 and 23 respectively in 1847) the roles of Halka, Jontek, and even Janusz are twenty-somethings so in some ways tt seems counter to the spirit of Moniuszko's age to have these sung by stalwarts of the Teatr Wielki in their 50s and 60s, respected as they may be.
		On the other hand it would probably be difficult to find five individuals anywhere more expert in this repertoire and Barbara Zagorzanka gives a light enough touch to Halka's arias.
