Alle origini del trallalero genovese

About this book

The trallalero: a song with several voices of oral tradition, typical of the city of Genoa. It is a complex polyphony, original in many of its aspects and different from the other vocalisms widespread in the Italian territory. How is trallalero born? Where does its roots sink? What relationship do you have with the rural traditions that surround you? This publication addresses these topics and also describes the rapid transformations that take place at the beginning of the twentieth century, when this music - urban, modern - comes into contact with the world of opera and the author's composition.
