Anthologie du Patrimoine Musical Alsacien Musiques folkloriques et régionales 1953-2015 Inclus un livret de 20 pages

Description

This anthology created by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol revisits the musical heritage of Alsace. The first CD is dedicated to folk brass bands and the famous marches, polkas, and traditional tunes of the region. The second presents the living musical heritage and the development of a modern repertoire. From post-war lyricists (gathered around Barabli, the famous Strasbourg cabaret of Germain Muller and Mario Hirlé) to today's singers, this music has been an invaluable medium for creativity to keep this language alive, with its unique sense of words, humor, and poetry. This box set highlights the famous Alsatian identity, which, like its Belgian counterpart, has been constantly questioning its roots and its future.
