Fekete-Kiss Sándor
Composer
He first trained as a physicist, then studied composition under István Fekete-Győr at the Bartók Béla Conservatory and under Sándor Szokolay at the Academy of Music. He obtained his diploma in 1985 and has, since then, composed in a variety of styles. He has dallied with Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Zen Buddhism, lately; however, he has been composing in a regtime manner, in a style reminiscent of Scott Joplin.
Reading from the Ecclesiastes (completed in 1989) is a large-scale work for baritone and seven instruments (violin, viola, cello, double-bass, flute, clarinet and horn). Recitative is of determining importance. Special tone color effects are associated with the Biblical text. At certain points, the musical material, interrupting the recitative, culminates in emotional and dynamic climaxes. The alternation of long syllabic, and brief melismatic sections, as well as the colorfulness of the types of intonation, are also characteristic of the work.
