Summary:

This book, published in 1917, documents the efforts of the Société Suisse des Traditions Populaires to collect and preserve traditional folk songs from the Romandy region of Switzerland. Spearheaded by Arthur Rossat and a commission of Swiss academics and enthusiasts, the project aimed to systematically gather these oral traditions before they were lost to time. The work highlights the cultural significance of these folk songs and serves as a historical preservation effort. The intended audience includes scholars, ethnomusicologists, and those interested in Swiss cultural heritage. The book provides insights into the challenges faced in collecting these songs and the methodologies employed to engage with the elderly members of communities who were the keepers of this oral tradition.
