Merre szall ?

I was inspired by many poems by Jenö Dsida, the Transylvanian poet who died at an early age. One of them was “Cantata lirica”, which provided the lyrics for one of my cantatas.

The music written in a simple, “quasi madrigal” style for the poem ‘Merre szall’ (Where is it flying) has a smooth lilt, which is only broken by the throbbing of the line “botladozom magam összesebezve” (I am faltering, getting wounds all over me). — Ferenc Farkas
