Songs of Székelyföld
Join us for a 6-week class to learn a wide variety of folk songs from Székelyföld, also known as Szekler Land, in eastern Transylvania. We will be focusing on Gyergyó and Csík, where the gorgeous repertoire of traditional songs range from simple and playful to intricately ornamented. If this is your first Hungarian singing class, we also have separate pronunciation classes on January 15 and 22 covering all of the letter sounds. See the link for details.
There are two class times, to be accessible to people in various time zones:
- January 24 - February 28, Tuesdays 9:00-10:30am Budapest time (8am England / 4pm Hong Kong / 7pm Sydney / 9pm Christchurch)
- January 24 - February 28, Tuesdays 7:00-8:30pm Budapest time (10am California / 1pm New York / 6pm England / 8pm Israel)
Our Hungarian Folk Singing Classes, both in person and online, as one-time workshops and multi-week class series, are held in English and open to participants of all cultural, linguistic, and musical backgrounds. We welcome experienced singers as well as those with no previous experience in the style. The classes include a wide range of beautiful village songs from across the Hungarian language area, crafted over generations of unbroken oral tradition. These are not composed songs or modern arrangements, and they are taught directly from village source recordings. They include uptempo dance songs to grieving songs, love songs to lullabies, old style and new style, simple and highly ornamented, with beautiful song words and unique regional scales and rhythms. Participants receive village source recordings, ethnographic maps, song word sheets (lyrics), English translations, and background information on the songs and regions. Classes also often include information about vocal technique, traditional instruments, seasonal practices, and the traditional lifestyle and ways of thinking that these songs come from.
