Swinging and sonically rich yodelers, catchy song structures, polkas, waltzes, and, time and again, the landler, attain a special intensity in arrangements for vocal trios and quartets, for parlor as well as dance music settings. Male and female voices, the harp, dulcimer, zither, accordion, ocarina, and the violins of the Schwendberger Hochzeitsmusik represent the sonic diversity of Alpine music. And because the present CD is an homage to Herma Haselsteiner, we, once and again, encounter her instrument, the Mädlchor Wörgl, conducted by the founder herself.
In order to fully reveal the immediacy of the music on these tracks, Gustav Kuhn animates the succession of songs and pieces by using refrain-like collages of sound resembling the tuning of an orchestra, in which a yodeler and the voices of girls overlap and mesh with the drive of the well-oiled musical machine consisting of Zillertaler dancing fiddlers and with bawdy mocking songs.
