Síppal, dobbal, nádihegedüvel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Síppal, dobbal, nádihegedüvel (With Pipes, Drums, Fiddles) (2000) is a song cycle by György Ligeti on poetry by Sándor Weores. Scored for mezzo-soprano and an unusual ensemble of percussion and wind instruments (including, in some songs, slide whistles and harmonicas). The lyrics are whimsical and often nonsensical, sometimes combining random Hungarian words or parts of words into a nonsense language.
One of Ligeti's last works, it represents a synthesis of folk and avant-garde elements typical of much of his later compositions.
