Drei Lieder Nach Gedichten Von S. Pet~Fi

Klarinettenschule I

György Balassa and Kálmán Berkes Clarinet Tutor has stood the test of time over decades, and its first volume takes three aspects into account: diversity, continuous technical development, and characteristics that are unique to Hungarian music. The publication for novice players is rooted in its use of Hungarian folk songs, but it also contains some classical compositions, along with works by 20th century Hungarian composers. The two composers have also included pieces written for two clarinets to help prepare students for later practice with polyphonic music.

Sonnet CIX : for female choir

Commisioned by the municipality of Debrecen.T mea Dragony (b. 1976) started her studies in Ny regyháza as member of the Cantemus choir and graduated in composition at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music under György Orbán, then had been supported for two years by the Academie Musicale de Villecroze (France). She won the 1st Prize of the so-called Pet fi Quodlibet composer competition, and the 2nd Prize of the Arany János competition. Her ballet-music entitled Gyöngyhalászok was presented in the Erkel Theatre, Budapest. In 2017, her cantata Estharangok and orchestral piece Crann Bethadh were premiered at the Liszt Academy, performed by the Hungarian Radio Orchestra.

Chorwerke I Kinder-, Frauen- und Männerchöre

With the publication of the first collective, scholarly edition of the a cappella works of Sándor Veress (1907-1992), the publishers were paying a long-standing debt in the Veress centenary year. Volume I contains all the already published works for children’s, female and male choirs, together with those of the works of his mature period preserved in manuscript which have attained their definitive form: seven choral cycles or suites, and five single-movement works. The musical concept of the mainly 3- or 4-movement Hungarian folksong suites and cantatas is closely akin to that of the composer’s instrumental folksong series written at the same time. Also included in thevolume are a musical setting of Sándor Pet fi’s poem Orbán and arrangements of two Swiss folksongs and a children’s song of American origin ("Mary had a little lamb").
