What is the position, in the context of both these perspectives, of three important works for voices and instruments by Zygmunt Mycielski: Three Psalms, Liturgia sacra, and Fragments to words by Juliusz Słowacki, written in the last few years of the composer's life? The author discusses these works and attempts to answer that question in her conclusion.
