Ci vuole molto perché una persona capisca che perfino odiare è meglio che non provare niente; che è addirittura meglio essere odiati che suscitare indifferenza.

- Janos Székely, tentazione

We reached the finale of the Choral Music series (2nd Edition!), here at Musica in Extenso! Every time when we need to close a week, we realize that a week is very short to present different subjects. Anyway, it was a great pleasure to talk about choral music and to show you some really interesting pieces connected to sweet memories, also from my student years. As for my final post, I chose Zoltán Kodály, hungarian composer, to finish this week in the right mood.

Today on Musica in Extenso:

Zoltán Kodály

Transylvanian Lament - Székely keserves

Debrecen Kodály Choir, conductor: Péter Erdei

Thank you for joining us this week! Have a beautiful weekend! - Editor-in-Chief

Portraits of Székelys; ethnic Hungarians of Romanian Transylvania. Photographed by Zsigmond Bathori.

“The Székelys, sometimes also referred to as Szeklers (Hungarian: székelyek, Romanian: Secui, German: Szekler, Latin: Siculi), are a subgroup of the Hungarian people living mostly in the Székely Land in Romania. A significant population descending from the Székelys of Bukovina lives in Tolna and Baranya counties in Hungary and in certain districts of Vojvodina, Serbia. In 1952, the former province of Mureș, Romania (with the highest concentration of Székely population), was legally designated as the Hungarian Autonomous Region. It was superseded in 1960 by the Mureș-Hungarian Autonomous Region, itself divided in 1968 into three non-autonomous counties, Harghita, Covasna and Mureș.

In the Middle Ages, the Székelys, along with the Transylvanian Saxons, played a key role in the defense of the Kingdom of Hungary against the Ottomans. in their posture as guards of the eastern border. With the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, Transylvania (including the Székely Land) became part of Romania, and the Székely population was a target of Romanianization efforts. In post-Cold War Romania, where the Székelys form roughly half of the ethnic Hungarian population, members of the group have been among the most vocal of Hungarians seeking an autonomous Hungarian region in Transylvania. They were estimated to number about 860,000 in the 1970s and are officially recognized as a distinct minority group by the Romanian government.”

Very early Sensenich Wooden Scimitar Pusher Propeller off a 1930’s Curtiss Wright Junior CW-1 Airplane, also known as the Curtiss Robertson CR-1 Skeeter. This propeller went on the 3-cylinder Szekely SR-3 radial engine. This is the only one we have come across.
