==History==
During 1980, Penderecki was commissioned by the Polish trade union Solidarity to compose a piece to accompany the unveiling of a statue at the Gdańsk shipyards to commemorate those killed in the Polish anti-government riots in 1970. Penderecki responded with the Lacrimosa, dedicated to Lech Wałęsa, which he later expanded into this requiem, writing other parts in honour of different patriotic events. The Agnus Dei was composed in 1981 in memory of his friend, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. The Recordare was written in 1982 for the beatification of the Franciscan Maximilian Kolbe who had died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The Dies irae was written in memory of the Warsaw Uprising of August and September 1944.〔(A Polish Requiem ) review of a recording and notes (including single movements) by Chua Gan Ee, 1999〕 Libera me, Domine was written commemorating the victims of the Katyn massacre.〔(Polish Cultural Institute ), 2010〕 A first version of the requiem was performed on 28 September 1984 by the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mstislav Rostropovitch.〔
In 1993 the Sanctus was added and the revised version conducted by the composer at a Penderecki festival in Stockholm on 11 November 1993.〔(A Polish Requiem ) liner notes by Richard Whitehouse, for Naxos〕 The composer remarked in 1998, speaking about the work's historical and patriotic significance: "I don't write political music. Political music is immediately obsolete. My ''Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima'' remains important because it is abstract music. The Requiem is dedicated to certain people and events, but the music has a broader significance."〔(Krystof Penderecki Talks about the Polish Requiem ) La Scena musicale, 1998〕
In 2005 the composer added another movement in memory of Pope John Paul II, Ciaccona "in memoria Giovanni Paolo II per archi" (in memory of John Paul II for strings).〔(Ciaccona ) Schott〕 The completed Requiem was first performed on 17 September 2005 in Wroclaw, during Wratislavia Cantans 2005, by Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra Katowice, under the direction of the composer himself.
