"Diä urchigä Glarner" is a treasured name in Swiss folk music, particularly known for their dedication to preserving and celebrating the traditional sounds of the canton of Glarus. With a history spanning over four decades, the group stands as a cultural pillar, epitomizing the time-honored customs and melodies of their home region. Having marked their 40th anniversary with the release "50 Jahre Echo vom Hirsch - 40 Jahre Diä urchigä Glarner," the ensemble showcases their mastery in yodeling, alpine horn playing, and performing with other folk instruments indigenous to the Swiss alpine areas.

Through their prolific discography, "Diä urchigä Glarner" has encapsulated the essence of the Alpine landscape, as evinced by their "Alpeblueme-Serie," a collection vividly interpreting the Alpine flora through music. Each volume, from "Edelwyss" to "Männertreu," draws inspiration from the alpine wildflowers, yielding a rich aural tapestry that invites the listener to experience the serenity and beauty of the mountains. Other works like "Älplertanz," "Bärglieder & Bärgländler," and "Urchig mitenand" echo their commitment to traditional folk motifs, infusing every note with the hearty spirit of Swiss mountain life. Their heartfelt tribute "Alls was bruuchsch uf dr Wält, das isch Liebi (Die schönschte Lieder vom Ernst Jakober)" exemplifies their respect for fellow Swiss musicians and their shared musical heritage.
