Wojciech [Adalbert] Dlugoraj

(c1550 - 1619)


Polish lutenist, probably a pupil of Bakfark. Became a lutenist to the King of Poland in 1583, but later had to flee the country after denouncing high treason in influential circles. Besard's tablature of 1603 includes eight pieces by Dlugoraj, six of which are villanella transcriptions; a number of Polish dances survive in Ms.
