The good' old French-Canadian ;songs, richly'har-
monized and interpreted with taste, have always
met with great success, but one has to hear thein
rendered by several voices to enjoy their fullness of
poetry and musie. In order to present such songs
, in their most artistic setting the Canadian Pacific
Railway obtained the serviees of ,Charles Marchand
and his famous Bytowrt Troubadours' for the Fat -
song and Handieraft Festival held at the Chateau
Peontena° this spring.
This quartet was founded at Ottawa in 1920 by
Mz' Marchand and the friends. who seconded him
in bringing these songs before the gteneeal pubilie
ate Fortune Champagee,.seeond tenor; Emile Boat
cher, tenor, and Miville Belleau, basso..
The leader and ' founder of the quartet was a
eorxner chorister of the Besilieue at Ottawas. He is
sire ardent interpretet of the old I! reach songs and is
the Vete' soul of the quartet, Iia profound ktiowledge
ries Marchand d--itmiile Boucher 5-11Mivilie Betteau
of the rhyme characterizing the old country songs
enables him to render them faithfully. This has.
resulted in an ittspiring emulation among his friends
mentioned above, who have entered with enthusiasm
in interpreting the songs indigent of the Province
of Quebec.
»" The programme rendered at the Festival by the
Bytown Troubadours, consisted of songs by An .dee
Tremblay, Oseer O'Brien,' Paul Larose, Alfred. La-
lib'ertd and Maurice eforisset.' Pierre Gautier has
arranged these songs for several voees, doing so'
with such skill that even greater charm has been
drawn from the old harmonization,. ' Mr. Gautier
came to Ottawa hi 1920, after a brilliant career in
France, as professor of piano and harmony.
Time Baytown Troubadours is a uniruo organization
in musical circles on the continent. Every menibee
is imbued with the true apirit of French -Canada, en-
abling a faithful snterpretation of the songs of their„
forefathers.
