In 1988 the Musica '900 festival in Trento and the Bolzano contemporary music meetings commissioned a set of new Folk Songs, a title that inevitably recalls Berio's cycle. Composers including Salvatore Sciarrino, Claudio Ambrosini and Betty Olivero each wrote a piece starting from popular song, from the Balkans to the Middle East to Brazil.
The results range from straight arrangement to complete deconstruction, played by Ensemble Musica '900 under Maurizio Dini Ciacci. Premiered in Trento on 14 November 1988 and issued by Ricordi in 1989.
