      In addition to composing and teaching, Kodály was interested in music education, especially for young school-age students. He worked to reform the music education program in Hungary’s lower and middle schools, and composed many teaching pieces that would aid this program.
      Kodály's last years were a series of triumphs for the octogenarian. He was treated as a national hero in his own country, and he received the highest honors when he traveled abroad, not only for his compositions but for his philosophy that music should play an important role in every child's life.
      The real breakthrough came in 1923 with a commission to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the union of the cities of Buda and Pest. The result was the Psalmus Hungaricus, a powerful setting of a sixteenth-century Hungarian version of Psalm LV. This established Kodály both as a national cultural leader, and a figure of international standing.
      Among his choral-orchestral output the Missa Brevis (1942–44) enjoys considerable esteem, as does the Te Deum of Buda Castle (1936). Kodály’s renown as a music educator is almost as high as his reputation as a composer.
