About this eBook

Author La Gelière, P.-C. de
Title Recueil de chansons en patois de la Bresse
Credits Claudine Corbasson and Hans Pieterse
Summary "Recueil de chansons en patois de la Bresse" by P.-C. de La Gelière is a collection of regional songs written in the late 19th century. The work aims to preserve the local customs and memories of the Bresse region, featuring songs that reflect the culture, traditions, and life of its inhabitants, primarily written in the Bressan dialect alongside French translations. The opening of the collection introduces the author’s intentions, highlighting the need to revive old traditions and ensure that the songs, some of which have transformed over the years, are presented in a more comprehensible form. It emphasizes the corrections made to typographical errors in the original text for both the French script and the Bressan dialect. Furthermore, the author explains the linguistic nuances in representing the specific sounds of the local dialect and acknowledges a friend’s contribution in notating the musical elements of these songs. This sets the stage for exploring a rich tapestry of cultural heritage through the verses that follow, meant to resonate with both the locals and those interested in the regional lore.
