Summary of This Book

PANE DI LEGNU, VINU DI PETRA opens with a proverb from Niolu, "Bread of wood, wine of stone," which alone sums up a way of being and singing: the essential, without artifice, with direct intensity. Fresh chestnut (pane di legnu) and water springing from the rock (vinu di petra) become musical images here, illuminating the strength of the Corsican oral tradition. The book gathers polyphonic songs whose written transcription, published here for the first time, serves a dual purpose: to preserve these vocal pieces and to offer access to all music enthusiasts, singers, choir directors, or those curious about the repertoire. Conceived as a true school of musical sharing, the study of these polyphonies invites an experience of demanding and sensitive collective singing: rhythmic placement, articulation, breath control, interval holding, phrase shaping, and constant listening among the 3 voices. Beyond reading the score, this collection offers an encounter with an island often surrounded by preconceived ideas, restoring singing to its place as a living witness of ancient history and traditions. A valuable resource to enrich a vocal music repertoire, explore the color of harmonies, and rediscover, through ensemble work, "strong and fragrant" sensations like the maquis.
