Description:
The rich heritage of French-Canadian folk music dates back several centuries. Robert has chosen three of these songs to create a musical portrait of this colorful culture. The opening piece is the jaunty and dance-like 'Monsieur Lecuré,' followed by the hauntingly beautiful 'Blanche Comme la Neige.' The piece concludes with the spirited march 'Vive la Canadienne!,' which features a drum break and builds to an exciting, rousing finish. The creative use of harmonizations, key changes and dynamic contrasts gives this piece a sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced piece.
