Among the Romanians and the Hungarians there exists strong traditions concerning the New Year and Christmas. This CD is a
lovely collection of traditional songs and carols from various regions all celebrating this season.
The Final Hour Program
"The
Fono Music Hall in Budapest has created the support structure necessary to
fund the Utolsó Óra - Final Hour - Program, a comprehensive folk music
collection. Professional support for the program has been provided by the
Institute of Musicology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Starting in
September 1997, under the direction of folk music researcher László
Kelemen, the traditional Transylvanian bands still in existence were
brought to Budapest for recording sessions. Each band was at the disposal
of the researchers for five days during which time is was possible to
record from many of them, almost complete repertoires serving more than
one ethnic group. It has also been possible to collect more than simply
the vocabulary of melodies, but also to record and document the music,
dance, and information regarding related folk customs, which is then
transferred to archival CDs. One or two couples of dancers and one or two
singers arrived with each band helping to provide the vocal and functional
connections to the instrumental music. To satisfy a wider audience, Fonó
Records began to publish a series of CDs in 1998 under the name of Új Pátria.
These are commercial releases of representative selections of material
recorded during the Final Hour Program. The series follows in the
footsteps of the original Pátria series of gramophone records from the
end of the 1930’s. The Pátria series was prepared under the direction
of Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály and Laszló Lajtha by Hungarian Radio in
cooperation with the [Hungarian] Ethnographic Museum. According to our
plans, some 45 recordings will be released commercially from the Final
Hour Transylvanian collection as a part of the Új Pátria series. The
value of these CDs, which are released in book format with photographic
illustration, is incalculable. The records with accompanying text in both
Hungarian and English will be a lasting addition to Hungarian culture in
the collections of both Hungarians and foreigners alike."
