'This collection which comprises 143 choral works in 13 languages has been brought forth by the need of the Hungarian choirs for such publications. It leaves no doubt that it is but a drop in the sea even if it covers a period of two and a half millenia, works from an ode of the Hellenic Pyndar to present day compositions. The pleasure in singing together must reach back to older times yet, perhaps to the beginning of human existence. The earliest traces of polyphony can be come upon in the 9-10th centuries. The present compendium that concentrates on the golden age of choir music, the Renaissance derives its title from this period...' Miklós Forrai
