Polish Music Journal 5.2.02 - Labunski: Poland's Contribution to Music (2709 words) |
 | The first half of the 18th century was characterized in Poland by the growth of secular music, the further development of instrumental music and the shifting of art patronage from the court to the wealthy magnates and landlords. |
| This period was marked by the development of symphonic music and produced several distinguished composers: W³adys³aw ¯eleñski (1839-1920) chiefly known as the author of the opera "Goplana," and of symphonic and chamber music. |
| [12] Their music is remarkable for its model character and unusual scales, derived from Polish folk music; by its fresh and vigorous rhythm; by its humor and healthy objectivism, all in keeping with the spirit of the new Poland, a spirit of action, optimism and self-reliance. |
| Puerto Rico's Culture: Music (1606 words) |

| Also popular during the early and mid-1800s was a narrative tale set to music, sometimes embellished on the spot by a skilled storyteller known as a decime; the tales originated as rigidly metered 10-line stanzas of eight-syllable lines with a rhyme structure that could vary according to the inspiration on the composer. |
| Their musical form -which might have been the closest thing to a troubador tradition ever development in Puerto Rico- was after used to convey moral lessons, love tragedies, and stories of other kinds. |
