Choral Works for Children's and Female Voices

Based on the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition (Z. 15009), this volume includes Bartók's complete works for children's and female voices. The lyrics in this Urtext edition are in the original languages, but literal English translations are provided in the appendix, which also includes English versions of those of the 27 Two- and Three-Part Choruses that were authorized by the composer.

The edition is complete with an informative preface (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 performancepractice of Bartók's choral works.

The edition has been printed on high-quality and environmentally-friendly paper.

This volume is also available cloth-bound, along with the volumes for male voices and for mixed voices, in slipcase (Z. 20076). Separate editions of each work included in this volume are also available.
