Frigyes
Hidas (1928-2007) was the
most prolific Hungarian
composer for wind
ensembles, and his works
are the most often
performed. His extremely
popular folk song suites
are the finest examples
of Hidas's mature style.
Few composers are capable
of tackling folk song
arrangement in a worthy
manner. Bartók himself
had the following to say
about the challenges with
which this genre
confronted the
20th-century composer:
'Knowing how to deal with
folk melodies is one of
the most difficult tasks.
I venture to claim that
it is as difficult as, if
not more difficult than,
writing a large-scale
original work This much
is certain: for folk song
arrangement the
appropriateinspiration is
just as essential as for
the writing of any other
kind of work.' The second
suite with its recurrent
structure makes use of
five folk songs in a
modern harmonic
environment that
highlights even more the
beauty of the melodies.
