A collection and transcription of Walloon Belgian folksongs as sung in Northeast Wisconsin with analysis and historical commentary

The purpose of this study is to preserve, in written form, some of the folk music of the people of Brown, Door, and Kewaunee counties who are of Walloon Belgian ancestry. The musical notation is transcribed from tapes or recordings and includes Walloon texts. An English translation is provided for all songs and a French translation is given for those songs from the album Anthologie Du Folklore Wallon. The history of the settlement, along with special celebrations, is discussed and related to the song material.
