FROM QUEBEC WITH LOVE! - 150 years of Québec Mélodies
Join Le duo lyrique Laplante-Duval and pianist Francis Perron for a lecture-recital covering 150 years of Québec mélodies from Calixa Lavallée -who wrote Canada's National Anthem- to Lionel Daunais.
Québec mélodie comes directly from its French cousin, influenced by Berlioz and Gounod, and brought across the Atlantic Ocean by Frenchmen Antoine Dessane and Charles Sabbatier. Pioneers Calixa Lavallée and Alexis Contant opened the door to the great "Romantic Period" of the Québec mélodie led by Achille Fortier, a disciple of Gabriel Fauré. The middle part of the 20th Century would see Montréal introduce a new school of writing, following modern European style with composers such as Maurice Blackburn, Jean Vallerand, Clermont Pépin, François Morel, and André Mathieu. Lionel Daunais' primary influence would come from Francis Poulenc, whom he met in Paris. The Canadian composer's canon of songs is infused with humour and comical elements, and remains popular across the country to this day.
Baritone Bruno Laplante is a researcher and editor of forgotten song repertoire from Québec. This lecture-recital is a unique opportunity to hear this rarely performed music and learn about its roots, influences, poets, and cultural history.
