DYGULSKA, Jadwiga

Jadwiga Dygulska was a Polish composer and organist. She entered the Sandomierz convent in 1738 at the age of sixteen and took her vows a year later. She specialised in playing keyboard instruments, although we know that she also embroidered liturgical clothing. According to her obituary, she was “useful for the holy convent due to her talents, as she was an outstanding positive player and left the greatest number of personally copied notes and books”. Until now, two “organist’s books” copied by Dygulska have been preserved, L 1668 and L 1669, the latter being partly a copy of the former, consisting entirely of liturgical repertoire.
