Abstract

Scientific research on the Palm Sunday procession, specifically focusing on the characteristic chants used therein, began in Poland only in the 20th century. After the Second Vatican Council not only were there changes to the procession rite, but there were also far-reaching reductions in the former repertoire of chants. Polish church hymnals of the post-Council period are rather varied, depending on the hymnal editor’s vision. In the repertoire of ten hymnals researched and analyzed for this paper, only two chants can be found in common. Both are translations from Latin. Altogether, in the presented hymnal editions we find as many as twenty-four different chants. Polish editions contain many more chants than hymnals from other European countries.
