Parisian Soundscapes

At the SSCFS meeting this July 2015, Nicholas Hammond presented some of his research related to 17th- and 18th- century street songs and poems preserved in a manuscript entitled Chansonnier Maurepas. His research group has recreated some street song performances and many of the lyrics can be found online at his website. A useful interdisciplinary resource for thinking about popular culture, the history of music/sound, and ephemerality.
