BRIGHT MORNING STARS ARE RISING

50th Anniversary Anthology, Kodály Center at Holy Names University 
Anne Laskey & Gail Needleman, Editors

This 50th Anniversary Anthology of the Kodály Center reflects the significant role the Kodály Center has played in implementing Zoltán Kodály's vision for music education in the United States and around the world.  

This collection of 26 articles explores the basic tenets of Kodály's vision:

·      That music is for everybody

·      That music literacy is a universal right and not a secret language for a select few

·      That singing is the most human and universal of instruments

·      That folk music and art music are the most beautiful and lasting of musical forms 

In realizing and implementing Kodály’s vision, these articles reflect on bringing Kodály’s ideas to American classrooms, along with articles that investigate Kodály's life and thought, and what these mean for us today.  The articles are complimented by writings of some of the many Hungarian master teachers who have worked with Holy Names faculty to develop higher levels of musicianship, excellent materials and clear pedagogical goals in music teacher education.  

Bright Morning Stars Are Rising will be released on August 18, 2022
