Summary

The songbooks by Azkue (1864-1951) and Father Donostia (1886-1956) are the decisive compilations of traditional Basque music. They used a methodology which was very valuable in those times. In this study the thesis defended is that for its update their value and even to increase it, it is convenient to carry out a critical revision of those Works. A concrete proposal of revision inspired in the method followed by Miguel Manzano in his songbooks. For this objective to be conveniently laid out, the background, examples and transcendence of the work of these authors are presented, with special mention beingmade to their connection with the Basque territory.
