Artist
Roman Maciejewski (February 28, 1910 in Berlin, Germany – April 30, 1998 in Göteborg, Sweden) was a Polish composer. Maciejewski studied at the Julius Stern Conservatorium in Berlin, the Poznań Conservatory (with Stanisław Wiechowicz and Kazimierz Sikorski) and at the Warsaw Conservatory (with Kazimierz Sikorski). In 1934 he went to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger. Maciejewski never returned to his native Poland, staying in various countries abroad: France (untill 1938), United Kingdom (1938-1939), Sweden (1939-1951), USA (1951-1977) and again Sweden (1977-98). The tragedy of World War II and his serious illness during his first stay in Sweden caused a deep change in composer's personality that greatly affected his music. From then on he devoted his life to creation of his opus magnum: a great funeral mass dedicated to the victims of wars, crimes and tyranny of all times. Thus during the years of 1945-1959 his Missa pro defunctis requiem was completed. The premiere of the work took place in 1960 in Warsaw, during the 4th Warsaw Autumn music festival.
