Hungarian composer and musician Zoltan Kodaly (1882-1967) is best
known for his pedagogical system, the Kodaly Method, which has been
influential in the development of music education around the world.
Author Anna Dalos considers, for the first time in publication,
Kodaly's career beyond the classroom and provides a comprehensive
assessment of his works as a composer. A noted collector of
Hungarian folk music, Kodaly adapted the traditional heritage
musics in his own compositions, greatly influencing the work of his
contemporary, Bela Bartok. Highlighting Kodaly's major music
experiences, Dalos shows how his musical works were also inspired
by Brahms, Wagner, Debussy, Palestrina, and Bach. Set against the
backdrop of various oppressive regimes of twentieth-century Europe,
this study of Kodaly's career also explores decisive, extramusical
impulses, such as his bitter experiences of World War I, Kodaly's
reception of classical antiquity, and his interpretation of the
male and female roles in his music. Written by the leading Kodaly
expert, this impressive work of historical and musical insight
provides a timely and much-needed English-language treatment of the
twentieth-century composer.
