Síppal, dobbal, nádihegedűvel (With Pipes, Drums, Fiddles) (2000) is a song cycle in seven movements by the composer György Ligeti based on poetry by Sándor Weöres. The work is scored for mezzo-soprano and an unusual ensemble of percussion and wind instruments (including, in some songs, slide whistles and harmonicas). The lyrics are whimsical and often nonsensical, sometimes combining random Hungarian words or parts of words into a nonsense language.[1]
One of Ligeti's last works, it represents a synthesis of folk and avant-garde elements typical of his later compositions.[1] Ligeti wrote the piece for Amadinda Percussion Group and Katalin Károlyi (mezzo-soprano) and was premiered in 2000 in the Arsenal of Metz.[2]
