    In 1928, the traditional Saint-Jean-Baptiste parade in Montreal was themed “Nos chansons populaires” and featured some thirty floats with tableaux vivants illustrating traditional French-Canadian repertoire. Meanwhile, the evening before the parade, Montrealers could enjoy a wide variety of musical activities closely linked to American entertainment circuits, including silent films, vaudeville shows and musicals. How to reconcile this Saturday night of contemporary entertainment with the Sunday parade, which aimed to preserve a distinctive French-Canadian identity and counter the presumed negative influence of the United States and anglophone North America more generally? In this article, I argue that the parade allows us to consider traditional music not as a cultural relic destined to disappear with modernity, but rather as an essential element in the creation of a distinctively French-Canadian modernity. In particular, I interpret the staging of folklore in the context of the parade through the prism of the contemporary regionalist movement in literature and the visual arts, and describe the parade as an audible and performative expression of this movement.

    Cette thèse de musicologie historique utilise la programmation radiophonique du poste CKAC de Montréal dans l’entre-deux-guerres afin de remettre en question une homogénéité présumée de la chanson folklorisée chez les grandes figures que sont Madame Bolduc, Charles Marchand, Ovila Légaré et l’abbé Gadbois. L’analyse proposée se focalise sur les pratiques de la chanson métissées au folklore canadien-français dans les domaines du chant, de la danse et du conte. Cette démarche est combinée à l’identification d’émissions de radio où les artistes ont des pratiques du répertoire en commun. La thèse met ainsi en évidence deux réseaux de collaborations. Le premier réseau d’artistes, les « Lyriques », assez près de L’Heure provinciale à CKAC, favorise des voix de type classique et bénéficie d’un appui de la critique, …
