Biography
Mikołaj Gomółka (born c. 1535 in Sandomierz, died after April 30, 1591, most probably March 5, 1609) was a Polish Renaissance composer, member of the royal court of Zygmunt II August, where he was a singer, flautist and trumpeter.
In 1563 he came back to Sandomierz and resided at the court of Piotr Marikowski, a bishop of Kraków. His life after 1590, when he became a member of Jan Zamoyski's folk group, is not known.

Gomółka's only known, and possibly only published (1580, Kraków) work was Melodie na psałterz polski, a volume of melodies to all 150 psalms. The music is composed to the Polish text, translated from Latin by Jan Kochanowski.
