Gyöngyösi won the competition with his composition ?Te lucis ante terminum?, beating submissions submitted from eight other countries. Gyöngyösi composed his motet for mixed choir based on a Latin hymn. The piece, written in 2003, is dedicated to Péter Tóth. The motet follows the original three-part structure of the text. It is written in F sharp, but also echoes tonal changes and harmonies which recall ancient church modes.
