In my paper, I will focus on the specific linguistic structures of the polyphonic practices adopted by the Italo-Albanian communities of Calabria.
This musical culture features involves many complex polyphonic techniques.
Furthermore, unlike other traditions of “multi-part” singing, the arbëresh polyphonic texture clearly employs a more horizontal, contrapuntal perspective, mainly focusing on two-part performances.
The main hypothesis of this study, which originated from the first analysis of the folkloric materials, regards the existence of close links between the different local practices constituting a comprehensive set of techniques, processes and practices of composition/performance related to a properly arbëresh musical system, beyond the occasional modifications due to standard performing dynamics.
