Ittzés Mihály: Lajos Bárdos
Hungarian Composers 36
book
In his personal style as music critic, Aladár Tóth stated Gregorian melodic culture, renaissance polyphony, the art of form of classicism and the romantic intimacy of expression are intertwined in Hungarian music revived in the spirit of the folksong. His six-decade activity in composition enriched 20th century musical art with long-lasting values: sacred music (motets, masses, folk-hymn arrangements), and secular choir works inspired by literary texts or folksongs are integral parts of our choral culture today.
