ISBN 9790080134009. B/5 (17x24) inches. Latin. Sandor Szokolay.

Vocal music, especially church music, has always played an important role in the oeuvre of the extremely versatile composer Sandor Szokolay (1931-2013). He left behind four complete mass settings; among these Missa Pannonica , written for six-part mixed choir, was composed in 1987 for the Tomkins Vocal Ensemble conducted by Janos Dobra. Janos Malina praised the nearly half-hour, large-scale and virtuosic work as follows: The mass is an outstanding achievement within Szokolay's sacred music oeuvre. It is a composition with extremely rich musical contents, and it is impressively spontaneous and powerful, combining a broad range of styles, traditions, and influences in a very original way..
