As serfs of the Saxons from Brasov, the Csángós from Barcaság lost their ancient musical instruments, dances, music knowledge. The Lutheran religion, the forcing of the German language and culture got its result; slowly the musical nads were born in Hétfalu. The Independence War in 1848 led to the establishing of military bands, after its repression they became naturalized in the villages in Barcaság as brass bands. Each village had its own brass band. As the tradition lost territory, on the picnics the music was provided by brass bands, and similarly on the funerals as well. The Honterus excursion place near Brasov was first the Saxons´, and soon became the Hungarians´, favourite entertainment space. During World War I the Hungarian bands flourished again, and after Trianon the young ones became part of the music bands. The official stamp of the band from Bácsfalu dates from 1915 and they were taught by Geham Saxon conductor. Its most important conductors: Mártis András, Mezei Árpád – who was an honoured member of military band of the Romanian King Mihály and from 1947 took over the band in Bácsfalu -, Bálint Árpád and Bálint Árpád Jr. The band took part of many festivals; on the ´We Sing for you Romania Festival´ won the third place. The celebrations in the community hall and its yard, the picnics are part of the bands beautiful memories. The band from Türkös was founded by Csere Rudi; he gave up his beautifully started activity after a few years and joined the band from Bácsfalu. The band in Csernátfalu took another shape in 1932 under the name of Voluntary Fire Department Band, with the support of the millman Köpe István. The culture in Csernátfalu was revived by the foreseeing and charismatic activity of Lutheran priest, Dr. Kiss Béla. During and after World War II many sons of the nation hid or fled here, to Barcaság. One of them was the music teacher Klitschka, the conductor of the Czech military band, who supported our priest’s musical activity with the organ concerts held in the churches of Csernátfalu and Tatrang. For a while he took over the control over the brass band. Gyulai Nagy András (1911 – 1983) from Csernátfalu had a remarkable musical talent even in elementary school; he was discovered besides the director Kanabé Gyárfás, by our priest as well. His childhood dream became reality in 1947, when he reorganized the band from Csernátfalu, which in a few years became the most famous in the county. Parea Mihály was a refugee from Basarabia; in the past he was a Russian military band’s flieger, after this he became a member of King Mihály’s band. He became also a strong member of the band in Csernátfalu, as well as an invited musician of the guest circuses performing in Brasov. In 1958, in the competition between rayons he won the second place, he was preceded only by _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001-2010 120
January-March 2010 JOURNAL OF EURASIAN STUDIES Volume II., Issue 1. _____________________________________________________________________________________ the best Saxon brass band. Besides him, founding members were: Gyurka István, Kapitány Sándor, Buda András, Vajda Péter, Pap István, Girás János, Kiss Istók István, Bálint Bandi, Peltán István, Gyulai János, Tóth István, Péter János. He learned the secrets of musical instruments and music playing from Klitschka. As a tailor, he made uniforms for his band. He taught his musicians to read and write music sheets, he started a serious education of the people. The blowers of Barcaság are his students. He gathered the young ones from Hétfalu, taught them to intelligent fun. The authorities deported him in 1951 to the Danube Canal. In the mean time, his innocence came to light, and he was able to return after one year. He continued where he had left off, with the only difference that he had to play on the communist holidays, and not only on Hungarian ones. Between 1958 and 1960 he manoeuvred a jazz band too. His band was the highlight of the Szabó Hall, the Papp beer garden, the picnics, the Fire Department’s ball. Every member of the Hétfalu community sang together with them on the Fire Department’s march, which was composed by Gyulai Nagy András for the lyrics of Köpe István. They bought the instruments with their own money; sometimes Köpe István gave them financial assistance. The instruments were repaired by Kubath Wilhelm in his shop from Brasov. Veres Jenő (1910-1988), a true entertainer and the world’s unique “official smuggler” introduced them many times. Half of Barcaság’s people still get their heat from the Dutch stoves he built for them. For him building a stove was a small celebration, he told stories, gave books to the family. He considered the Hungarian-speaking natives from Moldavia to be his heirs, and he quoted Berzsenyi Dániel to say goodbye to them: “I confront bravely the darkness of my grave, It is frim, but it can not be that evil. Because it is your work, it spread there, too, Your hands cover my bones.” The followers of Gyulai Nagy András were forced by the government to have the winder band function in the pioneer house. The activities did not last long; the director of the pioneer house gave most of the instruments to Saguna Highschool. This was the end of the most famous brass band. Tamás András continued to lead for many years the brass band from Csernát village. In 1945, in Hosszúfalu Fabich Károly reorganizes the fire-fighter’s winder band. The most important bandmasters were Laczkó Márton and Pari János. In 1920 the Evangelical Winder Band is created in Tatrang with the help of minister Szórádi Lajos, chorister Zsigmond István and choir leader Pajor Árpád. In the city of Brasov existed the nab called 89 Tüzérezred. The brass band from Tatrang used to buy their instruments from that band. Most of these archaical instruments can also be found today. The interesting thing about these instruments was that all the other instruments from Barcaság were B tuned but those from Tatrang were H tuned. In 1946 a parallel fire-fighter band is created with the help of the Csere, Váncsa, Bálint, Csabai, Pajor, Koszta and Veres families. They bought their instruments from Szászhermány. The generation change of the two bands ended up with combining the two. The most important choir leaders of the band from Tatrang were: Pajor Árpád, Bálint György, Koszta István, Csere István, Szász János and Csórik István. Beside religious events they also attended outdoor concerts. In 1982 on the Festival “We Sing for you Romania” they received the second prize. In 1925 the villages of Zajzon and Pürkerec created together the Baptist Winder Band. Founder members: Máthé Géza, Rab Sámuel, Szász Sámuel, Sipos András, Koródi Sándor, Rab Márton, Fejér István, and Simon Mihály. They bought their instruments from the Firefighter’s Band from Tatrang. The diminution of the Baptist congregation broke up the band, so with buying the instruments from them, in 1979 the Evangelical Winder Band is founded, its members being Deák István, Bálint István, Sipos Tibor, Bódi Gábor, Vajda István, Fejér István. The congregations of Bodola, Keresztvár, Oltszakadát used to invite them for different events. In 1985 Precizia Factory also creates a winder band, its choir leader _____________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright Mikes International 2001-2010 121
