Frigyes
Hidas.
Frigyes
Hidas (1928-2007) was the
most prolific Hungarian
composer for wind
ensembles, and his works
are the most often
performed. His worldwide
popularity is based on
works such as Balettzene
(Ballet music), Vidam
zene (Cheerful music), El
nem tancolt balett
(Undanced ballet),
Requiem and Save the Sea.
His folk song suites,
which are enormously
popular in his homeland,
are fine examples of
Hidas' mature style in
the genre of folk song
arrangements. The first
suite works up nine folk
songs of differing
character and atmosphere,
while the second, with
its recurrent structure,
makes use of five
melodies, creating a
modern harmonic
environment around them
and thereby highlighting
even more the beauty of
the melodies. To perform
these works effectively,
ample technique is
required, as well as an
ability to shape the
music freely. Highly
recommended for ensembles
with an interest in
Hungarian wind music and
folklore.
