Kék ég

Bánk Sáry composed his choral work Blue Sky for female voices commissioned by the town of Debrecen for the Béla Bartók 26th International Choir Competition in 2014. The composer says about his work: "I have used extracts of poems in Miklós Zrínyi's manuscript The Valiant Lieutenant. The choir sings the initial sentence in Latin in unison, then the music gradually becomes polyphonic before a playful, rhythmical passage takes its place in the middle of the piece. At the end of the almost five minute movement the beautiful text is sung by the choir in a homophonic chord progression."

Bottle Dance

The forerunner of the Bottle Dance was written for the Blue Danube Harmonica Band in the early 1960s. Later, at the instigation of the excellent folk dance choreographer Miklós Manninger, an arrangement for wind band was prepared, in order to widen the ensemble’s repertoire of German national pieces by the addition of a Hungarian dance. The production scored a resounding success not only with the audience but also with the musicians who performed in it, with the result that before long the composer prepared from the Bottle Dance an independent work for wind ensemble - a showy piece, virtuosic in its effect yet easily playable. The youth orchestra arrangement is a simplified andshortened version of the work for full-scale orchestra.
