Album lore

La tradizione ... il nuovo, issued in 2002 by Fonola dischi, collects twenty pieces rendered by Coro Grigna, a vocal ensemble dedicated to Italian folk and traditional repertory. The album gathers a range of songs such as "Alpini al reggimento," "Bandiera nera," and "Improvviso," the latter standing out for its expressive vocal interplay. The selections evoke the Alpine and regional heritage through arrangements that highlight choral textures and rustic melodies.Though modest in circulation, this release offers a clear signal from the northern Italian folk canon, preserving songs that trace local histories and customs. Coro Grigna’s performance is unadorned, leaning on the strength of collective voice rather than instrumentation, rendering the record a useful reference for those tracing the lineage of Italy’s ethnic and traditional song forms.
