Par DIVERS AUTEURS / MARAGNO. Argentinian folk music composers Los Hermanos Abal are best known for founding a folk group in 1939. Their career high point came in 1942 when their song, Carnavalito Quebradeno was used in the film, La Guerra Gaucha. Virtu Maragno (1828-2004) sublimely harmonises the song for SATB choir. Argentinian born Maragno was a composer of classical, opera and film music, as well as a teaching and national academic. His harmonisation of Carnavalito Quebradeno displays elements of South American folk music. For aspiring four-part choirs, Maragno 's harmonisation of Los Hermanos Abal 's Carnavalito Quebradeno makes for an exciting, alternative performance work. / Musique latine / Répertoire / Chant
