Love songs, lullabies, tarantellas and waltzes, patriotic songs, ballads, yodeling, and drinking songs capture life marked by community and tradition. Liner notes include some translations of lyrics, informative context for each track, and a bibliography (in Italian).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Piedmont: The Bells of Alpine Cattle \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Piedmont: Montagnes Valdotaines \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Piedmont: Paparone (Tarantella) \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Piedmont: Nen Mar?A Nostra Frighietta \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Piedmont: Nin?, Mon Pup?N (Lullaby) \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Piedmont: A la Sant? de No? \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Piedmont: La Blanchisseuse \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Piedmont: Jodoler (Yodeling Song) \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Piedmont: Che Bel Felice Incontro \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Piedmont: Quei Cacciatori \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Piedmont: La Ricciola (Waltz) \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Piedmont: Eviva Il Monfr?! \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Piedmont: Monferrina (Folk Dance) \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Piedmont: Maria Giuanna (Drinking Song) \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Emilia: Io Parto Per L'america \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Emilia: Voga, Voga \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Lombardy: A March \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Lombardy: Ouverture from Rigoletto \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Lombardy: O Pinota (Ballad) \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Lombardy: Ninna Nanna (Lullaby) \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Lombardy: L'?
