Manor house of the Moniuszko family in Ubiel, sketch by Napoleon Orda created between 1864–1876 Stanisław Moniuszko ( Polish: [stãˈɲiswaf mɔ̃ˈɲuʃkɔ] ; May 5 (17), 1819 – June 4, 1872) was a Polish composer, conductor, organist and pedagogue. He wrote many popular art songs and operas, including The Haunted Manor and Halka, and his music is filled with patriotic folk themes of the peoples of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (mainly Poles, Lithuanians and Belarusians). He is generally referred to as "the father of Polish national opera". Since the 1990s, Stanisław Moniuszko has been recognized in Belarus as an important figure to Belarusian culture as well.
