Volume II of the collected edition of the choral works of Veress contains seven Hungarian folksong cycles or cantatas, a choral poem in Hungarian and a choral cycle in English. In his first creative period (1929-1939), which he spent in Hungary, Sandor Veress's direct involvement in Hungarian folk music research played a decisive part: his folksong experience gained through personal collecting work found expression in his first period of composition for mixed choir. In the course of the 1960s, after his emigration, he returned on two occasions to the a cappella mixed choir genre: in 1962 he wrote a piece for mixed choir to mark the 60th birthday of the great Hungarian poet Gyula Illyes (Oda Europahoz - Ode to Europe, based on the poem by Illyes), and in 1967, at the request of the Australian Radio Company, he composed for the 'Adelaide Singers' chamber choir Songs of the Seasons, a seven-movement madrigal cycle making exceptional demands on the performers, to verses by the Australian poet Christopher Brennan (1870-1932).

Mit seinen Sieben geistlichen Gesangen stellt Giacomo Meyerbeer einmal mehr unter Beweis, dass er nicht nur als Opernkomponist Epochales hinterlassen, sondern auch einige 'Schatze der Chormusik' geschaffen hat. Seinen vierstimmigen religiosen Gesangen liegen mehrstrophige Texte von Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock zugrunde. Ursprunglich schrieb Meyerbeer diese von aufklarerischer Frommigkeit durchstromten Liedmotetten 1812 fur solistisches Vokalensemble. Knapp 30 Jahre spater brachte er sie dann, erweitert um Optionen fur eine wechselweise chorische und solistische Ausfuhrung und eine (intonationssichernde) Klavierbegleitung ad libitum, zweisprachig (deutsch/franzosisch) heraus. Eine gut zu bewaltigende, aber dennoch sehr wirkungsvolle Repertoirebereicherung fur jeden ambitionierten Laien- bzw. Kirchenchor.

Hakola composed the Kivi Songs in Paris in spring 2007. Distance and pining for home conjured forth from the poems timeless echoes of the primitive folk singer. It was as if the poems had the seeds of melodies hidden deep in ageless recesses. These seven songs exist also in orchestral versions. Texts in Finnish.
