The fame of Joseph Canteloube (1879-1957) rests almost entirely on his Chants d'Auvergne. Born in the Auvergne region of France, he wrote symphonic pieces, operas, and song cycles, but his most famous work began in the 1920s, when he fell in with a collective of composers who believed that peasant songs were the only form of pure music. He collected folk songs from his native region and arranged them for voice and piano or voice and orchestra in a lush style, work that would last most of the rest of his life. These songs are now firmly in the standard repertoire of singers, despite being in the obscure Occitan dialect of French.
