Overview

English:
In celebration of his 85th birthday, a rich selection of choral works by Balázs Árpád has been published. Recognized both in Hungary and internationally, Balázs Árpád is celebrated for his unmistakable compositional technique—characterized by a festoon of beautifully singable "outer-inner" voices and a clear linear approach that traces a path from Palestrina to Kodály. From his early days as an active composer in both Hungarian and international choral circles, he has consistently applied the principles of singability in a language accessible to singing communities. This collection spans a diverse repertoire, including variations on classical texts, folk songs, and innovative motets, all of which have significantly enriched Hungarian vocal culture at home and abroad.

Hungarian:
Árpád Balázs 85. születésnapja tiszteletére jelenik meg gazdag kórusműterméséből válogatás. Balázs Árpád nemzedékének kiemelkedő alkotója, akit nemcsak hazánkban, hanem nemzetközileg is énekelnek, egyedi kompozíciós technikájával tűnik ki – melyet a jól énekelhető, egymást ölelő szólamok füzére és a Palestrina, majd Kodály közvetítésével kialakult lineáris gondolkodás jellemez. Már ifjú zeneszerzőként aktívan részt vett a magyar és nemzetközi kóruséletben, és tudatosan alkalmazta az énekelhetőség alapelveit. Válogatásunkban megtalálhatók a kánonoktól a nagyszabású kórusfreskókig inspirált művek, valamint a motetták, melyek hozzájárultak a magyar vokális kultúra hazai és külföldi sikeréhez.
