Abstract
Muzyka kościelna w Kościele katolickim już od wieków ubogacona jest grą na organach. Jednak rozpowszechnienie się tych instrumentów było rozciągnięte w czasie. Pierwsze organy w Polsce pojawiły się w XIII wieku, lecz w małych miasteczkach i wsiach organy występowały częściej począwszy od XVI wieku. Potwierdza to przorgany były w 12 świątyniach, sto lat później już w 54, zaś w latach osiemdziesiątych XVIII wieku we wszystkich kościołach parafialnych większości kościołów filialnych.
Instrumenty organowe rozpowszechniały się szybciej w kościołach miejskich. W końcu XVI wieku były odnotowane w połowie miast archidiakonatu, a tylko w ok. 5% świątyń wiejskich. Sto lat później były w ponad 80% kościołach miejskich i już ok. 36% świątyń na wsi. Po kolejnych stu latach ponad 92% kościołów miejskich i niemal 86% wiejskich miało już ten typ instrumentu.
Recepcja organów była w pewnym stopniu uzależniona od patronatu świątyni. Najszybciej rosła w świątyniach patronatu kościelnego, wolniej królewskiego, a na końcu szlacheckiego. Innym aspektem badań nad organami jest ustalenie ich wielkości. Wizytacje przekazują zwykle subiektywne odczucia wizytatora lub informację o liczbie głosów organowych, która w pośredni sposób może świadczyć o wielkości instrumentu. Najczęściej organy należały do grupy instrumentów małych, kilkugłosowych. Taki typ dominował (80-90%) w XVIII wieku. Spotyka się też instrumenty duże, o większej liczbie głosów (w Świeciu – 21, w Byszewie – 17). Jeśli chodzi o stan zachowania organów, to większość z nich była uznawana za dobre, choć odsetek ten wahał się w różnych wizytacjach od 89% w latach 1686-1687 do ok. 55% w wizytacjach z lat sześćdziesiątych i osiemdziesiątych XVIII wieku.
Church music in the Catholic Church has been enriched by organ play for centuries. However, the spread of this instrument has been stretched over time. The first organ in Poland appeared in the 13th century, but in small towns and villages organs started to appear more often from the 16th century. This is confirmed by the example of the Pomeranian Archdeaconry. In the second half of the 16th century 12 temples had organs, but one hundred years later already 54, and in the 1880s all parish churches of most filial churches were equipped with an organ. Organs spread faster in urban churches. At the end of the 16th century, they were recorded in half of the towns of the archdeaconry, and only in about 5% of the village temples. A hundred years later, organs were in over 80% of town churches and already in about 36% of village temples. After another hundred years, over 92% of urban churches and almost 86% of rural churches had this type of instrument. The reception of the organ was to a certain extent dependent on the patronage of the temple. It was growing fastest in temples with church patronage and slower in temples with royal, and gentry patronage. Another aspect of research into organs is to determine their size. Visits usually give only the subjective feelings of the inspector or information about the number of organ voices, which may indirectly indicate the size of the instrument. Most often, the organs belonged to a group of small, several-voiced instruments. This type dominated (80-90%) in the 18th century. There are also large instruments with a larger number of voices (in Świecie – 21, in Byszewo – 17). Regarding the state of preservation of organs, most of them were considered in good condition, although the percentage fluctuated in various visits from 89% in the years 1686-1687 to approx. 55% in the visits in the 1860s and 1880s.
