Lament (1969), for solo soprano and chamber ensemble, was an exceptional experiment: Maros followed the strong tradition of Bartók and Kodály in clothing an authentic Hungarian folk lament in modern effects obtained from percussion and harmonic solutions and by using aleatory. This work initiated his rediscovery of tradition. It embodies his urge to face himself, in the light of the latest composing techniques, with his own Hungarian musical past and reincorporate it into the new music style he had developed just a couple of years before.
