recently deceased Hungarian composer wrote this work in one movement. It was his final choral composition and a particularly fitting tribute both to this occasion and to his life. The music does not contain the religious fervor inspired by his Missa Brevis which was performed at the Riverside Church two years ago include eyes presence and yet it has certain similarities such as the prominent part given to the organ. Mr. Swan performed this work in its world premiere in Atlanta last summer with a school account or M of New York. John Cartwright is a guest organist now with Mr. Swan conducting the Riverside choir. The work is sung in homage to the composer. Here is the New York premiere of his old uncle dies love his whole Gani for mixed voices and organ.
