The Vespers attracted the interest of many church composers and were – apart from the Mass – the second most frequently chosen service text. The musical setting of this part of officium divinum became richer in the course of time, especially in the monastic rite. The Vespers of Jasna Góra were of special nature since the prayer of the monks was accompanied by the Pauline monastery music ensemble. Its repertoire included works by composers connected with Częstochowa, who were instrumentalists or kapellmeisters in the monastery.
The article presents seven composers connected with Jasna Góra in the 1700’s. The material was analyzed in terms of the relationship between the liturgical text and the musical setting, which was the very core of the 18th century art of composition. The musical works studied show features characteristic for the music of early Classical period, at the same time retaining some elements typical of the Baroque rhetoric. The Vespers of Jasna Góra are valuable evidence of Polish cultural heritage – one of the few preserved works of this kind.
