The Songs That Quinte Sang (1895)

By Marie Joussaye

Book Overview

The Songs That Quinte Sang is a book written by Marie Joussaye and published in 1895. The book is a collection of songs that were sung by the Quinte Indians, a Native American tribe that lived in the Great Lakes region of North America. The songs were collected and transcribed by Joussaye, who spent several years living among the Quinte people and learning about their culture and traditions. The book includes both the lyrics and the musical notation for each song, as well as a brief introduction to the history and customs of the Quinte tribe. The songs themselves are a mix of traditional hymns, lullabies, and ceremonial chants, and offer a unique glimpse into the spiritual and cultural life of the Quinte people. Overall, The Songs That Quinte Sang is a valuable historical and cultural document that offers insight into the music and traditions of a little-known Native American tribe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
