![]()
| Born in the Auvergne, Canteloube was a pupil of Vincent d'Indy in Paris, but won a reputation primarily in the musical evocation of his native region.
|
| Canteloube has enjoyed considerable popularity for his arrangements of a delightful series of Auvergnois folk-songs, to which he later added further collections of folk-song arrangements, from Languedoc, Touraine and the Basque country.
