The Sz. 93 Hungarian Folksongs by Bartok are some of the most harmonically opulent pieces in the unaccompanied choral repertoire. Extremely difficult to perform (I suspect they are harder than Schoenberg's Friede auf Erde) they are seldom programmed in the United States. Which is too bad because they are masterpieces. Here's one of them, The Wanderer.
