Canteloube - Chants d'Auvergne

Now something even more different the beautiful songs of the Auvergne. Many years ago I decided that I wanted to explore classical music. I joined the local library as they had a large music lending section and was going to experiment by bringing lots of examples of classical music. What I did find is that they had a great rock and blues section and so my classical education was neglected.

I have since returned to learning a bit about classical music. It is slightly easier now as I am married to a classical trained musician. Together we explore music that we each know or neither of us know. In one of these explorations I re-found (as I knew it from before)the wonderful songs of the Auvergne. I have added two this time Bailero and Pasteurelle. They are both very beautiful.
