Abstract
Georges Arsenault discusses several local songwriters in the Acadian community of Prince Edward Island. Most of them have little education, but they have composed a number of songs on various subjects which interest their neighbours. He groups them under the headings of complaints, satires, political songs, songs about special events, and miscellaneous songs, and gives one example of each: about the death of a child, a Christmas festivity, an election, fixing a stove pipe, and praise of Prince Edward Island. Such local songs, which make up 15 per cent of the repertoire of traditional singers, are valuable for the light they throw on the life of the A cadian people.- The author retains copyright over the work.
