Under the title “Frisch fröhlich wend wir singen” this collection offers adaptations of Swiss folk songs for 4-part men’s choir. The arrangements come from Guido Fässler, Josef Kost, Ernst Pfiffner, Josef Röösli and Hans Zihlmann. They all share experiences in the field of choir work which gives shape to the character of the sets. Some can be sung a cappella, others feature a striking accompaniment by 1 to 2 clarinets or a melody instrument in c (violin, oboe, flute). With the increasing interest in sheet music for men’s choir these days, the importance of this collection lies with the care for the musical tradition of Switzerland.
