Abstract: The subject of my essay is the work and service of Kálmán Csomasz Tóth, a Reformed pastor, music historian and hymnologist, born one hundred and twenty years ago, who worked within the framework of the church music mission. He was responsible for the editing of the 1948 Hungarian Reformed hymnbook.
