Abstract

Jay Rahn est spécialiste en létude de la chanson folklorique canadienne. Son article souligne les elements qui gouvernent lharmonisation des chansons folkloriques anglaises. Il discute les capacités at létendue vocales de ceux à qui sont destinés les arrangements musicaux, compare les mérites respectives des harmonies simples et complexes, et examine la structure harmonique de ces chansons. Ensuite, en se servant des examples canadiens, il développe une analyse detaillée qui sert à démontrer comment l'harmonisation des chansons les plus communes peuvent s accomplir par lemploi dun seul accord.
