Máté Balogh is an outstanding representative of the young composers in Hungary. His Song Book 2021 can be regarded as a collection of individual choral pieces that were composed during the COVID pandemic as part of this PRESTO project. The collection contains pieces in various languages (English, Italian, French, Japanese and relative sol-fa syllables) using a multifarious genre of voicing (mixed choir with or without solo, female choir, shouting choir). One of the compositional goals of the pieces is to offer a repertoire of music that is able to be rehearsed and learnt online. You find the full collection and the composer notes below.
