Programme note:

In 1906 the Hungarian composers Béla Bartók (1881 – 1945) and Zoltán Kodály (1882  â€“ 1967) published a collection of twenty Hungarian Folksong arrangements for voice and piano ('Magyar népdalok énekhangra és zongorára'). The first ten arrangements are by Bartók. The first song: 'Elindultam szép hazámból' (I left my beautiful fatherland) came to be applied to Bartók himself after his self-imposed exile in the USA. The third and fourth movements are in two parts - the third movement presenting two versions of 'Fehér László', and the fourth movement containing two different songs - 'A gyulai kert alatt' and 'A kertmegi kert alatt'. In later editions, the fifth song - 'Ucca, ucca, ég az ucca' - was omitted, but is retained in these arrangements for instruments in four parts.

The titles of the ten songs by Bartók are:

1. Elindultam szép hazámbul / Far Behind I Left My Country

2. �ltal mennék én a Tiszán ladikon / Crossing the River

3a. Fehér László / The Horse-thief

3b. Fehér László / The Horse-thief

4a. A gyulai kert alatt / In the Summer Fields

4b. A kertmegi kert alatt / I Was in a Garden Green

5. Ucca, ucca, ég az ucca

6. Ablakomba, ablakomba / Deceived in Love

7. Száraz ágtól messze virít a rózsa / Love’s a Burden

8. Végigmentem a tárkányi / Walking Through the Town

9. Nem messze van ide kis Margitta / The Horseman
