Product description

The Children’s and Female Choruses were composed in a single burst of creative activity at the zenith of Bartók’s career, in the summer of 1935, between such masterpieces as the String Quartet No. 5 and the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta. These short choral pieces are based on folk texts that Bartók further polished and stylized. The music, however, is wholly the composer’s own, although it frequently includes motifs, rhythmic formulas and line structures reminiscent of Hungarian folk songs. Both editions contain nine of the two-part pieces of the set, transcribed idiomatically but faithfully for descant and treble recorders, respectively.

Béla Bartók (1881-1945), full name Béla Viktor János Bartók, was a Hungarian composer, pianist and and music scientist. He emigrated to the USA in 1940 because of his opposition to Hungarian fascism. Together with Leoš Janáček and Zoltán Kodály, he is one of the composers whose significant source of inspiration was folk music. He is considered one of the most important composers of the 20th century.
