More than six years of publishing work have concluded with the publication of the male choir volume, completing the three-volume edition of Kodály's choral works.
ZOLTÁN KODÁLY (1882–1967) created a significant oeuvre equally as a composer, pedagogue, and ethnomusicologist; he was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Hungarian music. With his over 130 works for unaccompanied choir he laid the foundation of modern Hungarian choral literature.
This volume of works for male voices is an extended and revised edition. Containing a total of 30 compositions, 6 of were not included in earlier editions, it is the most complete and most authentic edition of Kodály’s choral works for male voices to be published thus far. It has been edited based on uniform principles, contains easy-to-read, first-rate musical scores, and includes an informative Epilogue written by the editor Péter Erdei.

The publication of the volume was supported by the Hungarian National Cultural Fund.
