from Oannes *

Μια από τις περιπτώσεις όπου τα δυο αφιερώματά μας [μουσικοί γεννημένοι Δεκέμβριο / μουσική για την εορταστική περίοδο] συναντιούνται, είναι αυτή του Zoltán Kodály, σημαντικού Ούγγρου συνθέτη, μουσικού παιδαγωγού, και πρωτοπόρου στο χώρο της εθνομουσικολογίας, επιστήθιου φίλου και συνεργάτη του Béla Bartók. Ακούμε το χορωδιακό του ‘Adventi ének’ [τραγούδι της Έλευσης], που αποδίδουν οι Debrecen Kodály Chorus υπό τον Péter Erdei.

One of the occasions on which our two tributes [December-born musicians / festive music] meet, is that of Zoltán Kodály, a major Hungarian composer, music pedagogue and pioneer in the field of ethnomusicology, close friend and collaborator of Béla Bartók. We hear his choral ‘Adventi ének’ [Advent song], performed by Debrechen Kodály Chorus under Péter Erdei.

Enjoy!

As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ [why comments are closed here], so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the music!

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
