Abstract: The present study aims to present the work of Kálmán Csomasz Tóth in the field of sacred music. Having had a theological education, and literary and musical studies, following an in-depth and extensive research process, he edited the Reformed hymnal published in Hungary in 1948. In addition to this important work, he has published numerous books, articles, studies in the field of musicology, literary translations, and a few poems in various ecclesiastical and professional journals in Hungary and abroad. The example of Kodály as a composer and the choral singing movement of the 1930s also captivated him and encouraged him to adapt the melodies of the church hymnal. I will hereby present his work and a musical analysis of the choral arrangements pertaining to the melodies of the Genevan Psalter.
Key words: hymnological research, church singing, Genevan Psalter, praise, Hungarian folk melodies, male/female choir and mixed choir compositions, homophonic and polyphonic modes of composition
