Inspired by folk songs from Auvergne and Pays de Beaune.
Joseph Canteloube (1879-1957) took folk songs from Auvergne as a starting point for his own popular compositions known under the collective name “Chants d’Auvergne”.
Maurice Emmanuel (1862-1938) was also inspired by folk songs. He wrote the “Chansons bourguignonnes de Pays de Beaune”, based on Burgundian folk songs.
