Dedicated to the audience of Budapest. Text based on the 55th Psalm of David, adapted by Mihály Vég of Kecskemét. Conducted by Sarah Bisley; live recording by Franco Viganoni, www.viganoni.com - with David Hamilton (tenor), the Aorangi Singers, the Junior Choristers of Holy Trinity Cathedral; accompanied by Ensemble Polymnia.
                            
Zoltán Kodály: composer, ethnomusicologist, pedagogue, linguist and philosopher, known internationally as the creator of a system of music education based on singing the songs of one’s native country.
Interestingly enough, Kodaly was born in Kecskemét, also the birth village of the 16th century poet and priest Mihály Vég, who provided the extraordinary poem for "Psalmus Hungaricus", based on Psalm 55. Also of note is that Kodaly chose a sacred psalm-poem for a secular occasion, namely to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the unification of Buda and Pest, to form the modern Hungarian capital.
A fascinating synthesis of Eastern and Western music, the work is first and foremost a profound and moving expression of the Hungarian nation, with a turbulent and tormented history over more than 2000 years. 
Beyond this, and with a piercing kind of modern clarity, drawing on medieval, modal and folk harmony traditions, it is universally relevant to all peoples and nations torn by strife, occupation, treachery and sheer hunger. 
However, as a great work of art, probably what speaks through the most strongly is the compassion towards the oppressed on the part of its creators, and the final message of redemption.
