Bartok Choral Works

3 Clothbound Urtext Editions in Slipcase

Based on the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition (Z. 15009), these three cloth-bound volumes in a slipcase include Bartók's complete choral works. The lyrics in these Urtext editions are in the original languages and in the translations authorized by the composer. Literal English translations are provided in the appendix, which also includes early and alternative versions of the works. The edition is complete with informative prefaces (in Hungarian, English, and German) and detailed Editorial Comments (in Hungarian and English). The comments give an overview of the textual, folk-music, and compositional sources, and provide detailed information on the performance practice of Bartók's choral works.

These editions have been printed on high-quality and environmentally-friendly paper.

The three volumes are also available in paperback: HL50603805, HL50603806, HL50603807.
