Abstract

Cecil Sharp a remarqué par écrit en 1907 que les chanteurs traditionnels anglais avec qui il travaillait l'assuraient fréquemment au cours de la conversation de la véracité des fairs à la base de leurs chansons narratives. Depuis cette époque, la tendance des chanteurs à chanter ce qu ’ils considèrent être de ‘ ‘vraies ’ ’ chansons ou, tout au moins à s'intéresser aux éléments tenus pour vrais dans les chansons, a été très bien documentée dans le domaine de la chanson de langue anglaise. Le but de cette communication est de montrer la valeur de l'enquête systématique dans les aspects de la “vérité” contenue dans la chanson folklorique, en se rapportant plus particulièrement aux questions de formation et de modification du répertoire de chansons vis-à-vis l’esthétique de groupe d’une communauté de chanteurs folkloriques.
