Summary

The purpose of this work is to expose how the Basque Choruses and Societies, in their origins, managed to create an adequate repertoire, which until then had been non-existent. The second half of the 19th century encompasses two stages. In the first there are small choruses, that constitute the preamble of future large choruses, which are born in the 2nd stage, as from 1880. Such choruses accumulate scores from foreign composers. The need therefore emerges to harmonise Basque popular melodies for choruses or to invite local composers to write more scores of this type.
