In 1996 I started work on a cycle of works Beatus vir for unaccompanied mixed choir.
''Beatus vir, sanctus Martinus'', devoted to St. Martin, bishop of Tour, was the first of the cycle. A year later, in 1997, came ''Beatus vir, sanctus Adalbertus'', to Latin words by Professor Jerzy Wojtczak. In 2001, in response to a commission from the Cardinal Wyszyński University, I wrote ''Beatus vir, Cardinalis Stephan Wyszyński'', a piece about the Primate of the Millenium. In the same year I composed ''Beatus vir, sanctus Ioannes de Dukla'', also to Latin words by Jerzy Wojtczak.
The cycle is not finished yet as I plan successive compositions about St. Anthony and St. Paul. Two parts of the cycle have been recorded on CD on the Acte Préalable label (AP 0029) by the outstanding Polish Chamber Choir ''Schola Cantorum Gedanensis'' directed by Jan Łukaszewski.
