    Abstract

    This article deals with the organ and organists of the Racławice parish (Sandomierz diocese) over a period of nearly 350 years. The parish church was erected in the late 13th/14th century. Source information about the church’s furnishings goes back to 1604, while it was not until 1650 that the first mention of a musical instrument was recorded. In the 18th century, a 13-voice organ is mentioned, which was in use until 1914. After the church fire during World War I, a two-voice harmonium was used, which was replaced by a 12-voice organ in 1955. Attempts made by the then parish priest to build a new organ eventually ended with the expansion of the existing instrument. A 25-voice organ was commissioned in 1975 and moved into the new church in 1998. Sources provide information about the organists of Racławice from 1694 on. From the 19th century comes detailed information about the housing conditions and salaries of organists, and from the 20th century their training and involvement in the musical culture of the parish.
