  • Feliks Nowowiejski (1877–1946) – Patron Roku 2016. Poznańskie Lata – Miłość Odwzajemniona?
    Pro Musica Sacra 14 (2016), s. 91–106 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/pms.1842 Elżbieta Karolak Akademia Muzyczna im. Ignacego Paderewskiego w Poznaniu Feliks Nowowiejski (1877–1946) – patron roku 2016…. Poznańskie lata – miłość odwzajemniona? Środowisko muzyczne z satysfakcją przyjęło ogłoszenie przez Sejm RP roku 2016 Rokiem Feliksa Nowowiejskiego1. Znaczenie kompozytora w polskim krajobrazie kulturowym I połowy XX wieku jest nie do przecenienia nie tylko ze względu na jego bogatą i różnorodną twórczość, ale także jej wymiar społecz- ny i kontekst patriotyczny przyczyniający się do umacniania polskiej tożsamości narodowej. Przez całe życie Nowowiejski angażował się niezwykle żywo w otaczającą go rzeczywistość i ta aktywność znalazła odzwierciedlenie w jego twórczości, w któ- rej widać dwa wyraźnie zarysowane nurty: profesjonalny i amatorski. Środowisko z trudem wybaczało mu ten drugi, jednak czas pokazał, jak ważną rolę odegrał on w podtrzymaniu ducha narodu i jego tożsamości. W niniejszym opracowaniu zamierzam skupić na poznańskich latach Feliksa Nowowiejskiego (1919–1946). Aby je jednak je docenić i podsumować, zarówno w wymiarze artystycznym, jak i społecznym, warto nakreślić tło wcześniejszych wydarzeń, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem okresu kształtowania się podstaw oso- bowości twórcy i lat jego edukacji. Wydaje się, że Feliks – urodzony 7 lutego 1977 roku w Barczewie jako piąte z jedenaściorga dzieci Katarzyny i Franciszka – otrzymał w dzieciństwie wszystko, co mogło rozwinąć jego naturalne zdolności: zarówno uznanie w domu zapew- niające poczucie wartości i motywujące do rozwoju, jak i umiejętnie pokierowaną 1 „Sejm ustanawia Feliksa Nowowiejskiego patronem 2016 roku w przekonaniu o szczegól- nym znaczeniu dorobku tego wybitnego kompozytora, dyrygenta, pedagoga, organisty wir- tuoza, organizatora życia muzycznego i Szambelana Papieskiego.

  • Jan Obłąk Feliks Nowowiejski Jako Organista W Olsztynie
    Jan Obłąk Feliks Nowowiejski jako organista w Olsztynie Komunikaty Mazursko-Warmińskie nr 2, 182-189 1961 O ile okolice północno-wschodnie miasta zabudowane są nieregu­ larnie, o tyle uderza planowe zabudowanie części północno-zachod­ niej, tworzące prostokąt, zawarty między ulicami Wojska Polskiego i Bohaterów, Zwycięzców i gen. Zajączka, Warmińską i Chrobrego. Tutaj też znajduje się ul. Kolejowa, łącząca śródmieście z dworcem kolejowym. Z nowych budowli lub odrestaurowanych dawniejszych wymienić należy przede wszystkim gimnazjum z lat 1869 — 1870, poszerzenie zakładu dla głuchoniemych i powszechną szkołę katolicką budowaną w r. 1906, następnie wyremontowaną w r. 1922 na wikarię, budowę straży pożarnej z wieżą obserwacyjną w r. 1913, a szkoły ewangelic­ kiej w r. 1915. W latach 1926— 1931 miała miejsce renowacja koś­ cioła parafialnego ee). Reasumując trzeba powiedzieć, że z zabudowy średniowiecznego Reszla nie zostało prawie nic. Pożary z lat 1806 i 1807 zniszczyły pra­ wie całe miasto oraz częściowo zamek. Dużą część domów odbudo­ wanych w latach 1810 — 1820 pochłonęły pożary z lat 1841 i 1917. Z nielicznymi jedynie wyjątkami obecna zabudowa Reszla pochodzi z drugiej połowy XIX w. i pierwszej połowy XX. Do ocalałych zabyt­ ków średniowiecznych zaliczyć należy częściowo zamek, kościół para­ fialny św. Piotra i Pawła, plebanie, spichrze z XVIII w., fragmenty murów obronnych oraz jedyny chyba w swoim rodzaju zacho­ wany gotycki most dwupiętrowy na Sajnie. Z dalszych pożarów w XIX i XX w. wyszedł obronną ręką odbudowany po r. 1810 ratusz, zabudowa rynku (poza stroną południową) oraz fragmenty zabudowy bocznych ulic na terenie właściwego miasta. Ks.

    Ilona Dulisz Wschodnie kontakty Feliksa i Rudolfa Nowowiejskich : (Lwów, Wilno, Białowieża) Acta Polono-Ruthenica 19, 37-46 2014 UWM w Olsztynie Acta Polono- Ruthenica XIX, 2014 ISSN 1427-549X Ilona Dulisz Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski W Olsztynie Wschodnie kontakty Feliksa i Rudolfa Nowowiejskich (Lwów - Wilno - Białowieża) Biografie Feliksa i Rudolfa Nowowiejskich, urodzonych w ostatnim ćwierć­ wieczu XIX wieku na Warmii w Barczewie, związane są m.in. z przedwojennym Lwowem i Wilnem. Działalność braci w wymienionych ośrodkach trwale wpisa­ ła się w historyczno-kulturowy obraz tych miast. Warto wspomnieć także o rekreacyjnych pobytach Feliksa w Białowieży pod koniec lat 30. XX wieku, które stały się inspiracją do stworzenia kilku ważnych dzieł muzycznych. Feliks Nowowiejski (1877-1946)1 należy do grona wybitnych polskich kompozytorów, zwłaszcza na gruncie muzyki chóralnej i organowej. Zasłynął jako wirtuoz gry na organach, dyrygent, pedagog, animator życia muzycznego. Przyczynił się również do rozwoju amatorskiego ruchu śpiewaczego w całym kraju. To także działacz społeczny i patriota, twórca słynnej Roty do słów Marii Konopnickiej, propagator polskości podczas akcji plebiscytowej na rzecz przyłą­ czenia Warmii, Mazur i Powiśla do Polski w 1920 r. Niewiele młodszy Rudolf Nowowiejski (1879-1963)2, spośród licznego rodzeństwa najbliższy Feliksowi, był teologiem, do 1925 r. księdzem katolickim, misjonarzem, podróżnikiem i działaczem społeczno-narodowym, filologiem kla­ sycznym, pedagogiem, poetą, autorem tłumaczeń na język niemiecki i łaciński wielu wybitnych dzieł poezji polskiej, m.in. J. Kochanowskiego, A. Mickie­ wicza, J. Słowackiego, A. Asnyka, J. Kasprowicza. Podobnie jak Feliks był utalentowany i kształcony muzycznie, grał na kilku instrumentach i komponował pieśni. 1 Zob. J.
