J. Lucyk and K. Bursey - Les chants du Mayflower

Through melodies passed down from generation to generation, “Les chants du Mayflower” brings the musical memory of the Maritime provinces to life through the extensive repertoire collected by Canadian folklorist Helen Creighton. Her collection includes more than 4,000 songs from Eastern Canada. Drawing on oral and written traditions that shaped Canada in the 17th and 18th centuries, Janelle Lucyk and Kerry Bursey combine historical repertoire with a contemporary sensibility, highlighting the melodies and rhythms of this musical heritage.
