The song "Praise of Petőfi" has a community-creating and identity-strengthening effect, which is adopted by more and more Hungarian schools across the border as their national anthem.
On the occasion of the Petőfi bicentenary, Gyula Kossuth award-winning singer and composer Gyula Szarka released her album entitled Petőfi's Praise. Now our readers can also listen to the magical new composition, which is constantly conquering the students of the Carpathian Basin.
In the past year and a half, many schools and choirs in the mother country, in the Highlands and in Transylvania, have asked Gyula Szarka for permission to sing the increasingly popular work on the occasion of various important celebrations, for example on March 15.
The community of a school in the highlands and a school in Transylvania chose the work written in honor of the Hungarian poetic giant as their anthem.
Gyula Szárka explained to our portal that
often draws inspiration from Petőfi's works.
"The poet has given me a lot, I have already set several of his poems to music, and the feedback clearly reflects that the demand for Petőfi's works is greater than we think these days," emphasized the Kossuth Prize-winning songwriter, whose album Wine and the Girl was already became a gold record within weeks. And his new composition is constantly conquering the Hungarian-speaking students of the Carpathian Basin.
In the work entitled Petőfi's praise, the quotes from the poet's popular poems such as Mr. Pató Pál or Freedom's love are composed in such a way that
modern man can also recognize his own questions of destiny with the help of Petőfi.
