11 polyphonies d'Argentine, de Bolivie, du Brésil, du Pérou et des Caraïbes Ces polyphonies appartiennent à quelques genres musicaux qui n'étaient pas représentés dans les volumes 1 et 2 : kaluyo (Bolivie), tonada, tango (avec texte), chacarera (Argentine), valse (Pérou), rumba (Caraïbes).Les deux premières oeuvres de ce recueil sont des canons de grande vitalité rythmique, à cinq et trois voix. Dulce Jesus Mío (Mon Doux Jésus) est l'un des très rares exemples d'oeuvre polyphonique a cappella des Archives de Chiquitos (XVIIe-XVIIIe s., Concepción, Bolivie) - oeuvre religieuse, elle fut certainement écrite par un indien (élève des maîtres jésuites) et elle possède un texte autant en espagnol qu'en chiquitano (dialecte commun aux diverses ethnies qui vécurent ensemble dans les Missions des Jésuites). Les autres oeuvres de cette sélection sont d'origine populaire, avec des textes en espagnol ou en portugais, mis à part Verano Porteño (Eté à Buenos Aires), tango d'Astor Piazzolla composé d'onomatopées. / Choeur Mixte / 48 pages / Partition
