Programme notes: "Festive Music" is an impressive composition for wind orchestra by Hungarian composer Frigyes Hidas. Written in 1985, the work was composed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II and the fall of fascism. Hidas, known for his rich and versatile music, created with "Festive Music" a piece that combines both historical significance and musical innovation. The composition is characterized by modern timbres and a vibrant musical vitality that demonstrates Hidas' masterful command of the wind orchestra. The work begins with a slow and solemn introduction that creates a thoughtful and respectful atmosphere. This opening, marked by deep and resonant sounds of the woodwinds and brass, recalls the serious and painful memories of the war and its victims. After this introspective introduction, the work begins to develop into a festive and triumphant atmosphere. Hidas uses dynamic contrasts and skillful instrumentation to create a rising tension and joy. The music becomes more lively and energetic, with clear, powerful melodies and rhythms that symbolize the resilience and triumph of the human spirit. A standout feature of "Festive Music" is the use of modern timbres. Hidas integrates contemporary harmonic and rhythmic elements that make the piece fresh and innovative. These modern influences give the music a special depth and complexity, while remaining accessible and memorable. The work climaxes in a grandiose and uplifting passage that eventually leads to the Hungarian national anthem. This final section is an expression of pride and hope, reflecting the country's long and difficult journey from war and oppression to peace and freedom. The integration of the national anthem at the end of the piece is not only a tribute to Hungary, but also a symbol of the universal values ​​of freedom and justice.
