Zoltán Kodály

Choral Works

These three cloth-bound volumes in slipcase include Kodály's complete choral works. 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. As a result of Péter Erdei's efforts, the most complete and most authentic edition of Kodály's choral works has been published thus far. The works are available in three volumes: Choral Works for Children's and Female Voices, Choral Works for Mixed Voices, and Choral Works for Male Voices. Each volume has been edited based on uniform principles, contains easy-to-read, first-rate musical scores, and includes an informative Epilogue. The three volumes can also be purchased separately (Z. 6724A, 6725A, 6726A) and they are also available in paperback (Z. 6724, 6725, 6726). Separate editions of each work included in these volumes are also available.
