A friend had collected some records of traditional music when she was in France, but a few years later a roommate's dog ate them (literally - many of the covers are illegible). She'd like to find some of this material, and describes her needs as follows: "Joseph Canteloube, a French composer, collected a lot of folk material and used it in his compositions, much like Vaughn Williams. He is best known for his "Chants de l'Auvergne". What I would like to know is if there is a source for the original folk material he collected. I tried a couple of times on the web, but all I got was sources to buy recordings of Chants de l'Auvergne. It's ok with me if the resources are in French. And if not Canteloube, then who is the French version of Child or Cecil Sharp et. al.? Is this enough of a description? I can't tell you anything further, because I don't know anything further..." Does this ring any bells? Can anyone help? -Don Duncan %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
