The collection of small musical forms presented in this recording comes from the Alps, a region that probably produced more composers than any other. Divided for many centuries among small fiefdoms, principalities, and great monarchies with often-changing borders, it maintained a unique heritage of distinctive music, permeating most levels of the social canon.
Since most of this repertoire has its origins in rural mountain culture and is usually performed in the Alpine Stuben and village taverns, a small village hall was used as a venue for this recording to preserve the authentic sound of the instruments and the music.
