From 1925 choral music became the central genre of Kodály's oeuvre; he wrote many masterpieces in this field, whose international success was hindered only by the text in Hungarian. Kodály's children's choruses truly brought something hitherto unknown into twentieth-century music history, as it strove to renew the language of music.
