Abstract

This article presents two Żukowski brothers: Fr. Jan (1870–1911) and Aleksander (1879–1911), coming from a Polish Catholic family that nurtured national traditions. Brought up in a home where music resounded (their father was a church organist), they began not only to make music, but also to create simple religious pieces. The article presents the preserved and found works of these artists. In the musical and semantic context, the following compositions of Fr. Jan: Adoro Te devote, Mother of Perpetual Help, Prayer to God-Parent op. 5, O Christ op. 14 and one piece by Aleksander entitled Save Mary.
