Jacek (Hyacinthus) Szczurowski was undoubtedly the most widely known and most fecund Jesuit composer active in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Of his very large output, only nine partially incomplete vocal-instrumental works have come down to us. Those are i.e. offertory Caeli cives written to the hymn Jesu dulcis memoria by St Bernard of Clairvaux, Domine non sum dignus – aria da capo for soprano, violins and basso continuo and Litaniae in C – a cantata-like setting of Loreto Litany composed for four-part vocal ensemble accompanied by two violins, two clarino trumpets and organ basso continuo.
