With LES CHANTS DE MON PAYS, Marie-Josée Lord shares with the public the music with which she grew up. In the family home, it was the great Quebec songs that played under the needle of the record player in the living room. Gilles Vigneault, Félix Leclerc, Diane Juster, Monique Leyrac singing the poems of Nelligan, Claude Léveillée, Claude Dubois, Robert Charlebois, Sylvain Lelièvre and many others. HAS Each word of these songs then became a story inspiring images that transported her into a world of reverie and escape. Stories of war, of madness, of spring, of a country to build, of a language to protect, of a better future for our children! Stories of the heart, of a young girl to marry, of childhood memories, of stories of yesteryear, of evenings and old pianos, history of the neighborhood and the people who surround us... These great poets and lyricists, she carries them in for her, they are part of her life, of her daily life.
That’s all THE SONGS OF MY COUNTRY!
