The name of Zoltan Kodaly will always be irrevocably bound up with that of fellow countryman and friend Bela Bartok, with whom he collected and investigated the sources of original Hungarian folk music. After studying German and Hungarian, he even devoted a thesis to the Hungarian folksong in 1906. Despite political troubles and despite being thwarted by the Hungarian regime with its Nazi sympathies, as a member of the opposition Kodaly metamorphosed into the fundament of Hungarian cultural life. And in contrast to Bartok, he even managed to get works performed abroad, works such as Psalmus Hungaricus and parts of Hary Jans. Kodaly had made it his object to create a tradition of true Hungarian artistic music on the basis of Hungarian folklore and tradition, as can be heard in his own works. He remained in Hungary even when his good friend Bartok was given political asylum in the United States. He received many honours and after the war he was an internationally famed composer and instructor. Kodaly died in Budapest in 1967.
