The article shows the unknown aspect of the activity of Primate Stefan Wyszyński related to sacred music, which included in particular the promotion of Gregorian chant. The author extracts from his speeches the most important statements considering the singing and emphasizes its value and topicality in the liturgy of the Catholic Church. The Primate’s respect for the singing is a testimony and manifestation of pastoral care to preserve the identity of the Church’s musical tradition.
