Adam Jarzebski
Born: c. 1590, Warka, Poland
Died: c. 1648, Warsaw, Poland
Nationality: Polish
Adam Jarzębski was an early Baroque Polish composer, violinist, poet, and writer. His main extant work Canzoni e concerti (copied in 1627) is not only one of the most important collections of early baroque instrumental ensemble music in Europe but also stands as a unique historical landmark as containing the first purely instrumental compositions to bear the designation concerto.
The first documented mention of Jarzębski was in 1612, when he became a member of the chapel of John Sigismund, Elector of Brandenburg in Berlin. After he had stayed in Italy for a year (1615–16), he became a member of the royal musical establishment, first at the court of Sigismund III Vasa and then of Władysław IV. He was held in great esteem by the royal court and was very popular among the members of the patriciate of Warsaw.
