Marek Czerniewicz’s Film Music

The work of Marek Czerniewicz reveals an important connection between image, word, and sound.He is present both in the field of creative inspiration and in the means of composition, sometimes he also determines the formal shape.These premises, which are observed in the field of high music, lead to a movement of applied music, which includes theatre, film, and children's music.Seen in this way, the field of film music is particularly viable for a creator who does not shy away from giving music extra-musical meanings and integrates it uncompromisingly into the context of reality.The music written for Marcin Bortkiewicz's films stands out in this clearly usable branch of work.The titles of the films to be mentioned here are: Drawn from Memory, Walpurgis Night, Silence, and Initial Training.In these images, the music has an important function that correlates with the content.It shows itself here in a symbolic, dialogical, or metaphorical sense, rarely as a literal illustration.All these outlined perspectives are a fascinating field of research that completes the picture of the composer's creative achievements.
