ZOLTÁN KODÁLY: HUSZT – A CHORAL WORK COMPOSED ON A POEM BY FERENC KÖLCSEY

Abstract

Zoltán Kodály has composed two choral works to the poems of Ferenc Kölcsey: Huszt and Bordal. Both were composed for male choir. Bordal was composed between 1913 and 1917, followed by Kodály’s Huszt in 1936. In this paper I will present an analysis of the Huszt choral work.
