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 Lecure, 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. Dur: 3:35.

Composed by Don Patriquin. Folk song. Octavo. Published by Cypress Choral Music (C3.CP1445).

Take a look, have a listen, and see what captures your attention—and what might capture the imaginations of the children in your life! Featuring music from: Africa (Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe) Oceania (Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand) Asia (China, Japan, Pakistan, Indonesia) Middle East (Israel and Lebanon) North America (Quebec, Guatemala, Mexico, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Haiti)  South America (Brazil, Peru, Chile)  Europe (Lithuania, Bulgaria, Poland, Republic of Georgia) For more information and resources about global music, visit giamusic.com/firststepsglobal. Special message: Since the summer of 2019, it has come to the attention of GIA editors that some of the American folk songs in the First Steps in Music series and other publications have racist histories. GIA is committed to providing resources that uphold the highest possible values for children and for our classrooms. We are excited about the efforts of the Feierabend Association for Music Education’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee to develop standards through which repertoire should be evaluated. We intend to revise our publications based on those standards at the earliest possible opportunity. Learn more at giamusic.com/dei.
