Choral Works for Male Voices | Zoltán Kodály, ed. Péter Erdei

ZOLTÁN KODÁLY (1882-1967) created a significant oeuvre equally as a composer, pedagogue, and ethnomusicologist; he was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Hungarian music. With his over 130 works for unaccompanied choir he laid the foundation of modern Hungarian choral literature. A complete collection of Kodály's choral works is available in three volumes: Choral Works for Children's and Female Voices (EMB6724), Choral Works for Mixed Voices (EMB6725), Choral Works for Male Voices (EMB6726). This volume of works for male voices is an extended and revised edition. Containing a total of 30 compositions, six of which have never before appeared in previous collections, it is the most complete and most authentic edition of Kodály's choral works for male voices to be published thus far. It has been edited based on uniform principles, contains easy-to-read, first-rate musical scores, and includes an informative Epilogue.
