“Harmonie des glaciers”: with this expression the French daily newspaper Le Monde defined, on July 30th 1986, the concert given by Courmayeur-La Salle’s music band on top of the Mont Blanc in order to solemnize the conquest of the Alps giant. As a matter of fact, everything seems to unite this music band to the mountains that surround its site. Born in 1865 out of the will of Mister Bertolini, at the time owner of the Hôtel Royal, the Band adopted the emblematic name of “Fanfare des Guides” and for generations the strongest mountain dwellers of Courmayeur did alternate in its ranks, finding the time, between one climb of the massif and the other, to blow an instrument to gladden the feasts of the villages or to entertain the tourists who, more and more numerous, came to Courmayeur. From the about fifteen performers who used to make up the original staff of the band, they passed to the forty five instrument players of the present day, whose level of constant artistic growth was strengthened by the merger operated, in 1966, with another glorious music band of the Valdigne: the one of La Salle. The present repertoire of the group ranges from the purely band-like style of the marches to the classic, the folklore, and the modern genre, and has enabled the music band of Courmayeur-La Salle to collect significant successes in Italy and abroad, culminated in repeated tours in Paris and in the concert which the group had in 1989 on the Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, ideally twinned with the Mont Blanc.
