This is one of the reasons why, in 1964, I wrote <em>Folk Songs<\/em> &#8211; a tribute to the artistry and the vocal intelligence of Cathy Berberian. This work exists in two versions: one for voice and seven players (flute\/piccolo, clarinet, two percussions, harp, viola, cello), the other for voice and chamber orchestra (1973).<br \/>\nIt is an anthology of eleven folk songs of various origins (United States, Armenia, France, Sicily, Sardinia, etc.), chosen from old records, printed anthologies, or heard sung from folk musicians and friends. I have given the songs a new rhythmic and harmonic interpretation: in a way, I have recomposed them. The instrumental part has an important function: it is meant to underline and comment on the expressive and cultural roots of each song. Such roots signify not only the ethnic origins of the songs but also the history of the authentic uses that have been made of them.<br \/>\nTwo of the eleven songs (\u201cLa donna ideale\u201d and \u201cBallo\u201d) are only intentionally popular: I composed them myself in 1947 to anonymous Genoese and Sicilian texts.<\/p>\n<p>Luciano Berio<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.lucianoberio.org\/note-dautore\/\">Note d&#8217;autore: informazioni generali | Author&#8217;s note: general info<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-9816","nota-di-programma-op","type-nota-di-programma-op","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Folk Songs (author&#039;s note) - Centro Studi Luciano Berio<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Folk Songs (author&#039;s note) - Centro Studi Luciano Berio\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Folk Songs for mezzosoprano and seven players (1964; 1973 for mezzosoprano and orchestra) 1.
