''''Le Chant'' for soprano and orchestra was written in 1976. The key which facilitates understanding of both - genesis as well as the formal course of the piece - is the title itself which points at 'singing'' as the superior idea - the origin of everything and the aim of everything. This ideas influences the way of leading musical phrase in particular instruments as well as the whole multisound bands and blocks which are mutually counterpointing. Eugeniusz Knapik
