Apor Lázár Tánca

First heard this beautiful Hungarian dance tune from 17th century during Hollóének Hungarica's concert at the Jagiellonian Fair in Lublin last year, not long ago I came across a video by Zoltán Arany, in which he played it on Hungarian duda and finally decided to transpose it to the Scottish pipes. The title simply translates as "The Dance of Apor Lázár", Apor Lázár himself was a nobleman and this was his favourite song. Probably this is the first time anyone has played it on the Great Highland Bagpipes. Dedicated to Inga, Zoltán, Lajos and the rest of Hollóének Hungarica! :)

Magyar zene + skót duda = vidám vegyes :D

@jpannonius Could you please translate that? I only understand that it's "Hungarian tune + Scottish pipes" but I don't know what the result means and it's the second time these words come up in the comments :)

[PeterPiper86]

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked it!

I've never heard this title, can you tell me what does it mean?

[jpannonius]

@PeterPiper86 yes... i also read it in the comments...

"vidám vegyes" means "joyful mixed" in english

because vidám means happy, vegyes means miscellaneous or mixed.
