Hora lungă

Hora lungă (Cântec lung, Rom., literally 'long song'), is a Romanian regional folksong style characterized by the union of a lyrical text and improvisational melody.

For the first movement of the sonata for solo viola by György Ligeti, see Viola Sonata (Ligeti).

Also called hora lunga or horea lunga, (hora here is derived from the Romanian word meaning 'oration').

The singing may be accompanied by a combination of the shepherd's flute, a leaf held between the lips and used as a reed, a bagpipe, and non-native instruments.
