""Songs of the People"" is a book of forty-four French folk songs and their variants from Canada, Normandy, and Brittany, compiled by Julien Tiersot and originally published in 1910. The book includes musical notation, lyrics in French, and English translations of each song. The songs range from lullabies and love songs to work songs and ballads, and provide a glimpse into the diverse cultural traditions of French-speaking communities across the world. Tiersot's introduction provides historical and cultural context for each song, and the book also includes an index of first lines and a glossary of French terms.
