Lajos
Bárdos (1899-1986),
composer, musicologist,
teacher, and choral
conductor, laid down,
together with Kodály,
the foundations of
20th-century Hungarian
choral music. Through his
work as a conductor, he
raised the standards of
Hungarian choral singing
to an international level
in a few decades. His
compositions were
directed towards
cultivating Hungarian
choral life: they draw on
Renaissance polyphony and
Hungarian folk music,
following Kodály and
Bartók. His works,
which are models of
choral writing, deal
sensitively with
Hungarian prosody and
radiate an inner harmony
and vigor. A selection of
his most popular choral
works has been published
with English texts by
Gail Needleman in five
volumes. Contents: 1.
