Wojciech Długoraj [Wiecesław Długoraj,
Adalbert Długoraj and Gostinensis] (c. 1557 -
after 1619), was a Polish Renaissance composer and
lutenist. His birthplace is unknown, with Polish
Gostyń and Ukrainian Gostynets as possibilities,
stemming from Dlugoraj's Latin appellation
"Gostinensis", but the variants of these toponyms are
extremely common in Eastern Europe. He was initially
active at the court of Samuel Zborowski, between 1583
and 1585 also at the royal court of Stefan Batory.
Zborowski, Długoraj's first master, was so cruel
that the lutenist fled his court. He found employment
with a new master who treated him well, but was
discovered and compelled to resume his duties with
Zborowski. Długoraj was able to escape his plight
when he found incriminating letters of his master's,
which he transmitted to the king via Jan Zamoyski.
Zborowski was eventually executed, but Długoraj
was forced to flee to Germany for fear of Zborowski's
heirs, who swore revenge. He apparently lived out his
years abroad.
Długoraj is notable for a number of fantasies,
villanellas and dances. A large number of his works
have been preserved in lute manuscripts.
