Abstract
Description
Zoltán Kodály composed only two works for organ solo, the Organ Mass (Organoedia) and a Praeludium, which forms the introductory movement to the Pange lingua choral work. Nevertheless, his works involving the organ play a significant role in Hungarian organ music. The Hungarian idiom, characteristic for the composer's compositional style, is also reflected in the organ works, which form a very special, one might say exotic patch of color in the international organ repertoire.
