Musical Change in Trentino: Style and Transmission in the Oral and Choral Traditions of the Region (Italy)

Abstract

dc:description

As in several areas of Central Europe, in Trentino art music, popular music, and folk music have continuously influenced each other. In this province one point of contact between oral and literate environment is a pervasive choral tradition which feeds on folk music to a large degree. This tradition consists of so-called "Alpine choirs" organized under the leadership of a conductor, which often perform folk tunes harmonized and arranged by literate musicians.
