Miklós Kocsár’s (1933-2019) world-famous and popular choral works really began to garner attention during the 1960s. A significant part of this can be attributed to the composer’s short, simple, and effective works written for children's choir, following the traditions of Bartók and Kodály.

Kocsár was continuously captivated by Imre Csanádi's children's poems, in which he recognized the contemporary reformulations of Hungarian folk culture and rhymes. Between 1974 and 1983, he composed Csanádi's poems in four series of four pieces, through which he offered transparent and delightful singing material for children's choirs.
