Composed in 1948 Kodály's compelling Geneva Psalm 50 uses the original psalm tune as a cantus firmus while adapting the original Calvinist psalter's rhythms to the Hungarian language. In addition to Geneva Psalm 50 he also composed motets from Psalms 114 and 121. Zoltán Kodály's complete choral works for mixed voices were published in a new extended edition in 2018 (Z. 6725 and Z. 6725A). This volume containing 51 compositions has been edited by the renowned conductor Péter Erdei one of the most devoted interpreters of Kodály's choral works. The new edition takes into consideration the manuscript sources for the compositions housed in the Kodály Archives in Budapest. Thepublication features new easily-legible music scores edited on uniform principles. For better readability the new edition is printed in a slightly larger format than previous editions.The present publication is an offprint from the renewed edition of Kodály's complete choral works for mixed voices. It has the same format as the volume and has been printed on excellent-quality pale-yellow paper.
