Panos Vlagkopoulos, "Vlepeis xene file mou den lismono ta tragoudia" ["You See, My Foreign Friend, I Do Not Forget the Songs"] From Haxthausen to Vinée, or One Hundred Years of Western European Views on Greek Folk Songs (2022)
This book consists of the publication of five Western European collections of harmonized folk songs. The musical part is accompanied by introductions to the collections and texts related to the interest exhibited by early European intellectuals, such as Johann Gottfried Herder, in the people and their culture, specifically focusing on Greek folk songs (understood as both text and music). Of the five collections presented here, only one is relatively well-known (that of Bourgault-Ducoudray), while the other four are being presented for the first time: those of Werner von Haxthausen (1780-1843), Leopold Schefer (1784-1865), Aramis (the pseudonym of Periklis Aravantinos, 1859-1932), and Anselme Vinée (1847-1921).
