This new release from DUX presents world premiere recordings of pieces of Polish sacred music from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, related to the local centres associated with the Catholic Church.

Musica Warmiensis Vol.3, is a continuation of a project, founded by the director of the Warmia Metropolitan Seminary "Hosianum" in Olsztyn, Rev. Dr. Tomasz Garwoliński.

The musical source material that became the basis of this recording has been recently found in the collections of the Library of the Higher Theological Seminary of the Warmia Metropolis "Hosianum" in Olsztyn by its director, Fr Tomasz Garwoliński, who then became the originator of the recording project.

The repertoire performed on the album consists of compositions left behind by Warmia bands active at church centres. The oldest of the rich collection of more than 800 preserved works can date back even to the 16th century. These are mainly sacred vocal and instrumental compositions, including arias, vespers, litanies, offertories, graduals and masses, but also secular compositions. They were written by well-known composers at that time as well as by the ones whose fame did not go beyond the Warmia centres.

Among the performers, apart from the Cappella Warmiensis Restituta, there are also four outstanding soloists - renowned singers, performing in the most important concert venues and opera houses in Poland and abroad.
