Leading the following workshop in EUROPA CANTAT Pécs:
This title comes not only from a madrigal by Thomas Tomkins but the same poem inspired Péter Tóth, one of the very popular contemporary Hungarian composers. I would like to introduce other Hungarian secular and sacred choral pices written in German, Latin, Italian and French by three generations of Hungarian composers.
