Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, an’a why nota every man? He delivered Daniel from the lion's den, Jonah from the belly of the whale; The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace, an’a why nota every man? Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel? Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, an’a why not every man? I set my foot on the gospel ship, the ship began to move; It carried me over into Canaan's land, an’a why not every man? Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel? Didn't my lord deliver Daniel, an’a why nota every man? 我主沒有拯救但以理、拯救但以理、 拯救但以理嗎？ 我主沒有拯救但以理嗎？ 又為什麼不是每個人呢？ 祂拯救但以理脫離獅子的洞穴， 拯救約拿離開鯨魚的肚腹， 祂...    less

Who are we? Well, we are the Kórus Spontánusz! That was our answer, unexpected even for us, since we hadn’t thought of a name yet.

That was our answer, unexpected even for us, since we hadn’t thought of a name yet. It happened on a December night in 2001 in Sopron in front of the Dömötöri Patisserie where we sang Christmas carols for the passersby. We didn’t notice being founded, only the joy of polyphonic singing. It was, and still is our experience that making music together strengthens existing friendships and facilitates the development of new ones. We started out with 13 people and our numbers have only been growing ever since, we count 25-35 members on average. We gladly sing anything may that be it religious or secular, Hungarian or from abroad regardless of its period or language if it fits our skills and numbers. We sing in churches, restaurants, museums, the Academy of Music, small villages in Hungary or Austria, at international competitions, libraries – anyplace where we are welcome. Singing in a choir is a demanding activity; it takes a lot of time, energy, discipline a...    less
