This first monograph of the life and oeuvre of Marcin Mielczewski (d. 1651) sets it in the context of musical life at the courts of the Polish Vasas, particularly King Ladislaus IV and Bishop Charles Ferdinand. Much attention is devoted to the evidence of the reception of Mielczewski's music in seventeenth-century Europe.
