Hungarian Translation – Áttekintés:
A Szőnyi Erzsébet: Anekreoni dalok egy kortárs magyar kórusmű, amely vegyeskar számára készült (SATB/SoliST, SATB a cappella). A mű fordítását Devecseri Gábor végezte, és olyan lebilincselő dallamokat, valamint gazdag harmóniákat tartalmaz, amelyek jól tükrözik a modern magyar kóruszene egyedi jellegét. 4-es nehézségi fokon készült, körülbelül 8 perces időtartammal, és 24 oldalas B/5 formátumban jelent meg. A mű kiváló példája a második világháború utáni magyar kóruskompozíciónak, mely kifejező szövegalkotásával és lírai szépségével továbbra is inspirálja a kórusokat.
