Christmas tune Originally commissioned for performance in Christmas Serenade '95 with the San Antonio, Texas symphony, this piece is true to the text's intent. After a bright opening the music slows to a more leisurely pace where the bass melody is accompanied by triplet thirds in the treble bells. Lots of staccato is called for in the final, bouncy section which speeds up the last five measures to end with a flourish. This rendition is scored in F Major and is 78 measures.

The 'Lullaby' to celebrate the first birthday of my son András forms the first melody of the Fruit Basket. This cycle of children's poems is full of humour and delicacy of feeling, sometimes even reminiscent of a grotesque, which makes such poems equally delightful for adults. There thus arose twelve melodies to match this cycle of very short songs with the following characteristics: the curious march of 'Kaspar' (Punch) the fabulous world of the 'Magic Box' the tenderness of 'Sunbeams' the sound of bells in 'Morning in the Village', where a cock crows and a donkey brays the tranquillity of the forest where 'Violets' are hidden. Abstraction and humour are found in the 'StoneFrog' charm in the lyricism of the 'Lullaby' gentleness in the sound of the 'Sleigh Bells'. In a watery world there reigns the 'Frog King' while the 'Little Elf' dances with the angels and the 'Hanswurst' (Harlequin) Serenade rings out in jocular and sad vein. Together a whole row of wonderful appearances all find their epitome in the concluding 'Midday-Cloud'. This work was originally written in 1946/47 the version for solo singer and wind quintet was composed in 1980. Until now it has been available only for hire, it is being released on to the market now for the first time. Der Komponist schrieb über sein Werk: ‚Das 'Wiegenlied', das als Erstes entstandene Lied des Liederzyklus ‚Früchtekorb', komponierte ich anlässlich des ersten Geburtstages meines Sohnes András. Der Humor und das Feingefühl in den Kindergedichten von Sándor Weöres, die zuweilen an Grotesken erinnern, sind auch für Erwachsene reizvoll und haben mich zu weiteren Liedern inspiriert. So entstanden in kurzer Folge die zwölf Liederdes vorliegenden Zyklus.'.
