- Joseph Canteloube studied composition under Vincent d’Indy, first informally and then at the Schola Cantorum in Paris. Under d’Indy’s influence, Canteloube became a member of a circle of French composers dedicated to preserving regional traditions of folk music and incorporating folksong into classical composition.
- Canteloube is best known for his five volumes of arrangements of Chants d’Auvergne for voice and orchestra, written between 1923–54.1
