Introduction to the Music and Composer
Wojciech Kilar (1932–2013) was a highly respected Polish composer who passed away on this day, December 29, in 2013.
Film Music Legacy: Kilar composed scores for over 100 films. He collaborated with world-renowned directors, including Roman Polanski (notably for "The Pianist", 2002) and Francis Ford Coppola (for "Bram Stoker's Dracula", 1993).
Classical Contributions: As a leading figure of the "New Polish School," he composed symphonies, chamber music, and large choral works. He famously sought the "philosopher’s stone" in music—believing that a single, eternal tone or harmony held more wisdom than complex sonatas or fugues.
The Piece: His "Agnus Dei" reflects this search for eternity and harmony. It is a hauntingly beautiful piece that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking.
