TY - JOUR TI - Edward Mąkosza. The Composer’s Life and Work AU - Urban, Paweł TI - Edward Mąkosza. The Composer’s Life and Work AB - Edward Mąkosza (born on 13 November 1886 in Lisków, died on 25 April 1973 in Częstochowa) was a Polish composer, pedagogue, conductor, organist, and ethnomusicologist. He was the main organiser of musical life in Częstochowa. He wrote approximately a thousand compositions. He received numerous accolades and was hailed as a hero of the Jasna Góra Monastery. The paper presents Edward Mąkosza’s biography and is meant to serve as an intro­duction to a comprehensive study of his work. The successive periods of his life (childhood, youth, professional work until and after World War Two have been discussed. Subsequently I focus on the composer’s broadly understood professional activity:his teaching, artistic and community work. I thus attempt to present the professor’s entire biography.
