Folksongs were the internet of our ancestors, embodying wisdom, memory, humor, history and even gossip, transmitting culture, poetry and music from generation to generation. Schola Cantorum elevates the humble folksong to epic proportions with the help of composers and arrangers from America and the British Isles who celebrate the everyday music of people as supremely sophisticated, authentically heart-felt art.
