Félix Leclerc - Héritage Et Perspectives (Livre)

This book, the most complete to date on the work and legacy of Félix Leclerc, paints a complex and nuanced portrait of this central figure of Quebec song. It recounts in detail the beginnings and the professionalization of the singer. It makes it possible to revisit the multidisciplinary work of the artist and to go beyond the 'encarcanated' image of the frozen monument. Leclerc, who is often sought to restrict to the French-speaking world through his poetry, has incorporated several foreign influences, particularly North American, into his songs. This Americanness is a vital force that is expressed in his music. A collective work that offers the opportunity to reread and listen to the work of Félix Leclerc. With texts by Luc Bellemare, Aurélien Boivin, Jean-Nicolas De Surmont, Luc Dupont, André Gaulin, Frédéric Giuliano, Marc-André Goulet, Hervé Guay, Claude Hauser, Marie-Noëlle Lavertu, Marie-Thérèse Lefebvre, Jean-François Plamondon , Robert Proulx, Lucie Robert, Jean-Pierre Sévigny and Danick Trottier.
