  Article:   FOLK SONG ARRANGEMENTS IN THE CHORAL WORKS OF ALBERT MÁRKOS.

Authors:  ÉVA PÉTER. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  We intend to point you three main parts the following study; we take a short glance to the life and work of the composer Albert Márkos, followed by a systematic and general overview of his work, ending with the actual analysis of his choral works. To be more precise, there is about the choral works that are folk song arrangements. My research has shown this aspect to be a particularly important one regarding the works of Albert Márkos, being also of a considerable large quantity. However, I had been fortunate enough to have access to the relevant scores as well as other sheet music, some of which were actually published. Moreover, I have conducted an archivist research principally in the family collection. My analysis contains aspects regarding the origin of folk songs, the manner of their arrangement as well as the composition technique used by him. The matter of the text as well as the prosody is an aspect to be considered in a different paper perhaps.

Keywords: folk song arrangement, polyphony, homophony, monody, stanza, choir.
