On October 15, 1954, Alan Lomax recorded various male choruses performing in the trallalero style in Genoa, Italy, as part of his year-long travels in Italy to record and document various folk musics. The trallalero is a five-part, a cappella polyphonic form, sung by five males taking falsetto, tenor, chitarra ("guitar"), baritone, and bass parts; it derives from the frequent use of "tra-la-la" syllables in the trallalero repertoire. For a time in the early 20th century
