![Mark Opstad - Folksongs - Tour Du Monde [CD]](http://chalkys.com/cdn/shop/files/3770036919009.jpg?v=1750535768&width=1445)
Description
Founded within the Conservatoire de Toulouse by its current director, Mark Opstad, nearly 20 years ago, the Maitrise de Toulouse received the Bettencourt Prize for choral music in 2017 at the Academie des Beaux-Arts, it has built up a discography composed of children's and young adult voices that showcases its varied repertoire, from the Renaissance to the contemporary. This eighth album by the Maitrise de Toulouse is devoted solely to arrangements for folk music choir. The program's journey begins in Occitania and passes through southern Europe, the Nordic and Baltic countries, and Eastern Europe, before heading to the Middle East, Africa, the Far East, and Australia. It then crosses the Pacific and then goes up South and Central America to the United States, where the folk melody The Road Home brings us back to France!
Each piece is an arrangement of a folk melody sung in its original language, no fewer than seventeen languages, which is probably unheard of on disc. Together, they constitute a program of enormous contrasts and vivid musical colors, ranging from a simple four-part choir to a large double choir.
