Abstract
Thomas-Etienne Hamel is a celebrated figure in 19th-century church and education histories, but his extensive musical activities have received little attention. His Annales Musicales du Petit-Cap, a 300-page manuscript containing words and music of 130 songs, has often been described as a folk music collection. However, this appears to be true of only its first half. The remaining songs, culled from French and Canadian sources of Hamel’s time (the mid-to-late 19th century), exemplify the repertoire of composed popular songs cultivated by students and other amateur singers. The article traces sources of the songs, compares them to versions in other published and manuscript collections, and posits a date for the compilation.- The author retains copyright over the work.
