解説
The story of a cultural touchstone and its impact
Fiddlers, step dancers, storytellers, traditional singers, and folklorists staged Montreal's first veillee in 1919. All that was missing, announced one of the organizers, was a magic carpet to transport the audience into the countryside and a kiss of forgetfulness to erase the woes of modern life.
Laura Risk tells the story of the veillees and explores how these commercial performances of idealized rural life became part of Quebec's cultural heritage. Her in-depth examinations of key performances and recordings follow traditional music and dance from the stage onto radio, records and other audio media, and television. Throughout, Risk documents how veillEes redefined folklore in twentieth-century Quebec and illuminates how their distinctive framing of traditional musicians and repertoire impacts the performance and reception of the music to the present day.
Astute and evocative, Music and the Staged Veillee in Quebec reveals the music, dancing, call-and-response songs, and extramusical associations winding through century-long conversations about nation, culture, and identity in Quebec.
