Der Betruf im deutschsprachigen und rätoromanischen Raum

During the summer, the evening prayer(Betruf) is still sung out over certain Alpine pastures. The herdsman stands where his voice will carry and calls out the prayer in a singsong, amplified through a funnel, asking for the blessing of God and the intercession of the saints on the pasture and the land. This book contains the text and music of these prayers.
