  Early Hungarian Dances - Ferenc Farkas

  The composer wrote of his work as follows: In the music of Hungary, folk songs are manifestly of great importance, on the other hand our ancient airs and dances play a modest role. For this work I have been influenced by dances of the 17th century, written by unknown amateurs in a relatively simple style. Most of these dances were recorded between the 14th and 18th centuries under the usual form of tablature notation. My interest in this music was first captured in the 1940s. I was so fascinated that I decided to give these melodies new life. I fitted the little eight-bar dances together into ternary and rondo forms, and leaning on early Baroque harmony and counterpoint, I attempted a reminiscence of that atmosphere of the provincial Hungarian Baroque.

  EARLY HUNGARIAN DANCES FROM GOMOR (Concert Band) - Balazs, Arpad

  This three-movement cycle is far more than simply an arrangement of folk tunes, but rather a freely-composed work using traditional Hungarian court dances as the thematic material. Breathing new life into these 18th-century melodies, the composer uses colourful and varied instrumentation, along with contemporary musical language, in creating this engaging work which is sure to be enjoyable for performers and listeners alike.
