In a style described as "developed neoclassicism",[1] he composed operas, ballets, instrumental music and vocal works, especially sacred music for both Catholic use and the Orthodox Church. He achieved international prizes for his compositions, and many works were recorded in anthologies, including the Violin Concerto, chamber music, and sacred and secular choral music such as the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. He was professor at the State Academy of Music in Warsaw from 1972 to 2008.

Life and career

Twardowski was born in Vilnius[2][3] (then Wilno in Poland)[4] on 17 June 1930.[5][3] During years of occupation and World War II, he studied the violin; after the war, he began learning to play the piano and organ.[2][6] From 1946 to 1950, he was the organist at the Church of St. Johns in Vilnius.[2] From 1952 to 1957, he studied piano and composition at the Conservatory of Vilnius,[4] with Povilas Tamuliūnas [lt] and Julius Juzeliūnas [de].[5][7] He was an early member of the folklore ensemble Wilia [pl], founded in 1955,[7] focused on Polish folk music.[8]

He moved to Warsaw to continue his studies at the Warsaw Academy of Music from 1957 to 1960, with Bolesław Woytowicz.[4][9] On a scholarship of the Polish Composers' Union, he studied in Paris with Nadia Boulanger in 1963[7][8] and returned in 1966, with a focus on Gregorian chant and medieval polyphony.[8][10]

He created major works for the stage in the 1960s; his first opera, Cyrano de Bergerac, based on Rostand's play, was premiered at the Silesian Opera in Bytom in 1963, directed by Zbigniew Sawa and conducted by Włodzimierz Ormicki [pl].[8] He created the operas Tragedy, or the Story of John and Herod [pl] (1965) and Lord Jim after Joseph Conrad's novel (1973),[4] and the ballets The Naked Prince (1960) and Wizard's Sculptures (1963).[4][10] They were staged in Łódź and Warsaw.[2] In the 1980s, he composed two more operas; Maria Stuart was premiered at the Grand Theatre, Łódź in 1981,[4] staged by Maria Fołtyn [de].[8] History of St. Catherine was premiered at the Grand Theatre, Warsaw in 1985, and produced two years later at the Baltic State Opera in Gdańsk. His operas were also performed in Czechoslovakia, Finland, Germany and Yugoslavia.[2]

From 1972 to 2008 Twardowski was a professor at the State Academy of Music in Warsaw,[5][10] teaching composition and instrumentation.[7] He served as jury member of many choir competitions.[8][5] He was president of the Orthodox Music Foundation, organizing the International Orthodox Music Festival Hajnówka [pl] in Białystok and chairing its jury from 1983.[8][7]

He published an autobiography in 2000, Było, nie minęło: wspomnienia kompozytora (Been, not Gone: A Composer's Memories), about his creative work, people and events of his life.[8][5]

Twardowski died in Warsaw[8] on 13 January 2024, at the age of 93.[2][7]
