Abstract

Philip J. Thomas rend compte de différentes versions de la “chanson de Louis Riel, ” depuis l’enregistrement commercial et la parution du livre de Barbara Cass-Beggs (1963) ju squ’au début des années 80 alors qu’il l’entendait chantée par Joe Venne sur les ondes de CBC-AM; selon Donald Deschênes et Charlotte Cormier, cette chanson serait une variante de “Lettre de sang ” connue dans l’ensemble du Canada français. Thomas compare les thèmes de 29 interprétations de cette chanson afin d’en mieux saisir l’histoire de sa migration (cf. l’article de Deschênes plus haut).
