Proposals of Inculturation in Liturgical Music in Poland

Abstract

In recent years, the music performed as part of the liturgy has been attracting an increasing amount of criticism. Many attempts have been made to introduce various substitutes for true musical art into the liturgy, including popular music. The author of the article is critical of relativism in art and asks about the limits of liturgical-musical liberalism, pointing to the dangers of misunderstanding inculturation. Considering the deeply rooted traditions of the Polish Church, he offers specific proposals for inculturation in liturgical music, in the liturgy and during services or devotions.
