"No man is an island; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. Therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne, trans. Stanisław Barańczak
“No man is an island” – the concert program owes not only its title but also its fundamental shape to John Donne’s poem. The beauty of this text arises from meditations on the ties that connect humanity and on the feeling of loss. The lyrical subject states that no individual functions in isolation but is an integral element of a broadly understood collective of persons.
The program mainly includes pieces from a collection developed in the areas of present-day Poland on the Baltic Sea (including Gdańsk, Oliwa, Braniewo/Braunsberg). The Braniewo–Oliwa tablature ultimately ended up in the collection of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius, where it remains today.
The repertoire is international in character: works from Italy, Spain, Germany, France, England and Poland created around 1600, including composers associated with Andrea Gabriele, Hans Leo Hassler, Jacobus Regnart and Petrus de Drusina.
As last year, thanks to the hospitality of the National Museum in Warsaw we emphasize close contact with art. Both seated and lying spaces will be available (the rule "bring your own mat" applies), allowing freer and deeper engagement with the music.
