Living in 1919–2011 Rev. Professor Karol Mrowiec C.M. was one of the most distinguished Polish musicologists. Throughout most of his life he worked for the Institute of the Church Musicology at KUL [Catholic University of Lublin] which he organised and managed. Supervised 70 master and 10 doctor degree students, reviewed 24 doctoral and 10 habilitation dissertations, as well as assessed 7 professorial treatises. He also greatly contributed to the music formation of the Polish clergy, devoting several years of his life to this cause. The professor conducted research on the Polish sacred music, particularly of the Baroque and of the 19th c. He made a lot of scientific discoveries in this field, publishing many sourcebooks, by which means increasing the public ad academic knowledge of the Polish church music. A vital part of his life was devoted to Polish religious chants. As the chief editor of songbooks, supervised the research on the Polish religious singing in all regions of Poland. He was a member of many Polish and international musicologist organisations. Actively participated in worldwide conferences, delivering speeches on the Polish sacred music, especially the religious chants. Rev. Professor K. Mrowiec was granted numerous medals and honoured with prestigious awards and titles, including the Honoris Causa doctor’s degree of the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music.References
