Canadian Journal for Traditional Music (1973)
A Reference List on Canadian Folk Music
A REFERENCE LIST ON CANADIAN FOLK MUSIC
The following is a revised and updated version of the reference list prepared for the Canadian Folk Music Society by Barbara Cass-Beggs and Edith Fowke in 1966. It is selective rather than complete: it includes most books of traditional songs and records by traditional singers, along with representative articles on various aspects of Canadian folk music, and some folk-song records by non-traditional singers. A more detailed bibliography of both published and unpublished material is planned for the future.
The published material has been divided into language groupings, and general works that include songs in two or more languages have been included in the English section. Asterisks indicate items which include more extensive bibliographies.
The list of compositions based on folk music is necessarily limited, but it includes most published works, and some unpublished works available through the Canadian Music Centre, 1263 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario. The Music Centre can also supply information about other unpublished compositions. (For this section we are indebted to Henry Mutsaers.)
