Zoltán Kodály s unaccompanied mixed choruses first appeared in print in 1943 as a collected volume published by the association Magyar Kórus. This collection contained twenty-five works. In 1951, the volume was released again in the author s edition, being expanded with eight new compositions, but without Els áldozás (First Communion). Reprint editions of this collection had been distributed by Editio Musica Budapest until 1972, when a commemorative extended edition of the mixed choruses was issued, edited by Lajos Bárdos. Until now, reprints of this collection with forty-five compositions have been circulated. Péter Erdei carefully compared the printed edition with themanuscripts of the works preserved at the Kodály Archives. As a result of his work, in 2011 we emended a number of misprints, including those that had been inherited since the earliest print. Seventy-five years after the first release, the time has come for Kodály s collected choral works for mixed voices to appear in a completely new, expanded edition. Our collection contains six compositions that were not included in earlier editions: Jövel, Szentlélek eristen (Come, Holy Spirit), Miatyánk (The Lord s Prayer), Miserere, Salló Pista, Semmit ne bánkódjál (Do Not Grieve), ejesztend t köszönt (A Christmas Carol). In addition, two versions - both equally authentic - are published of the work known under the title of Naphimnusz (Canticle of the Sun), due to earlier editions the new release comes with lyrics in Hebrew and English (Adoration), as well as Dénes Szed s Hungarian translation (Napének [Hymn of the Sun]). This is the most complete and most authentic edition of Kodály s mixed choruses to date it is printed in a slightly larger format than previous editions, and it contains new easily-legible music scores and an informative epilogue. Diese Ausgabe entstand unter der Mitwirkung von Lajos Bárdos.

This stately opening work begins in the low register with a broad main theme from the low brass immediately setting the tone. Gradually other sections and registers enter and despite retaining a majestic character the rhythmic element becomes more active. This work makes truly creative use of sound, without great virtuosity or complexity, but maintains a good balance between static and dynamic elements. Dit statige openingswerk begint in het lage register en etaleert een breed hoofdthema waarin het lage koper meteen de toon zet, gesteund door een continue slagwerkcadans. Geleidelijk komen ook andere secties en registers aan bod enwordt het ritmische element actiever, al bewaart het geheel een gedragen karakter. Het gaat om een echt klankstuk, zonder een grote virtuositeit of complexiteit, maar met een prima evenwicht tussen statische en dynamische elemeten.Dieses majestätische Eröffnungswerk beginnt im tiefen Register und präsentiert ein breit angelegtes Hauptthema, in welchem das tiefe Blech sofort den Ton angibt, unterstützt von einer durchgehenden Kadenz in den Schlaginstrumenten. Nach und nach erscheinen andere Orchesterteile und Register und das rhythmische Element wird aktiver, wobei der majestätische Charakter jedoch erhalten bleibt. Ein Werk, das voll und ganz auf Klang aufbaut, ohne große Virtuosität oder Komplexität, jedoch mit einer perfekten Balance zwischen statischen und dynamischen Elementen.Cette majestueuse pièce d’ouverture débute dans un paysage sonore grave et profond où retentit un thème ample et généreux, joué par les cuivres graves, sur un mouvement continu de la percussion. Le ton est donné. Petit petit, de nouveaux pupitres intègrent harmonieusement le développement et complètent les zones de timbre. La cellule rythmique s’intensifie sans toutefois influencer le caractère majestueux de l’oeuvre. The Swan on the Hill est sans grande difficulté technique, mais nécessite un travail approfondi de l’environnement sonore afin d’obtenir un bon équilibre entre les éléments musicaux statiques et dynamiques.Questo maestoso brano di apertura inizia su un passaggio sonoro grave e profondo dove echeggia un tema ampio e generoso, eseguito dagli ottoni gravi, su un movimento continuo delle percussioni. Poco a poco, altre sezioni della banda integrano armoniosamente lo sviluppo e completano le zone di timbro. La cellula ritmica si intensifica senza tuttavia influenzare il carattere maestoso del brano. The Swan on the Hill non pone grandi difficolt tecniche, ma richiede un lavoro profondo sulle dinamiche, al fine di ottenere un buon equilibrio tra gli elementi musicali statici e dinamici.
