" 'Very filmic' . This composition reminds me of Lisa Gerrard's vocal work with Hans Zimmer for the film "Gladiator". If I didn't know it was Hungarian, I would assume it was probably Arabic -- it has the same sort of melodic fluidity and almost arrhythmic structure of the Arabic music I'm familiar with. Now I'm going to go off and wonder if there's any cultural cross-pollination between Eastern European and Middle Eastern music....oh, yes, by the way, this is a wonderful piece of music and you should buy it. Now." - Mperia
"This composition and performance is quite unique. The music is traditional, yet progressive, complex yet beautifully simple. An awesome, nearly unbelievable voice, harmonizing with drifting, choir-like echoes" - BeSonic
"A long piece, but even so... it is definately worthy of a repeat listen." - DJ Orion
Concert improvisation at Symmetry Festival in Budapest, based on an old Hungarian folk song from Moldavia.
Szöveg / Lyrics Madárka, madárka, Áraszd meg a vizet, Áraszd meg a vizet, Hadd írjak levelet! Apámnak, s anyámnak, Szűbeli mátkámnak, Hadd tudják meg ők es, Kihez adtak engem. Hatökrös gazdának, Lovaskatonának, Hatökrös gazdának, Nagy lovaskatonának. Little birdie, little birdie, Make the waters flood, Make the waters flood, So that I can write a letter. To my father 'n to my mother, To my sweetheart, So that they find out to whom They have given me. To a farmer with six oxen, To a trooper, To a farmer with six oxen, To a great trooper.
