This intriguing album brings the folklores of Quebec and France to life using song to recount the experiences of Marie Hubert, one of the \u003ci\u003eFilles du Roy \u003c\/i\u003e(the King's daughters) intended to help populate New France\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eRecruited as one of almost 800 marriageable French young women, Marie crossed the Atlantic at the end of the program, which was launched in 1670 by the Roi-Soleil, King Louis XIV, and Jean Talon, his intendant in New France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor nearly a decade, Karina Gauvin had been yearning to record a selection of Quebecois and French folk songs. Quite fortuitously, recent genealogical research has traced Gauvin's family origins to Marie Hubert. In the midst of pandemic lockdowns, Gauvin examined the contents of an old chest of drawers and unearthed some scores handed down more than 30 years earlier by the aptly named soprano, Louise Roy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong these treasures were folk harmonizations from the first half of the twentieth century by such eminent Canadian musicians as Gabriel Cusson, Ernest MacMillan, Michel Perrault, and Oscar O'Brien, to name just a few. Going through these scores with pianist Pierre McLean, Gauvin selected the songs for this new album, which feature orchestrations by Claude Lapalme and two arrangements for piano and harpsichord by Pierre McLean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eBelle rose du printemps\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eGai lon la, gai le rosier\u003c\/i\u003e, and from \u003ci\u003eIsabeau s'y promene\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eLes cloches du hameau\u003c\/i\u003e, Karina Gauvin brings rich colors to these folk songs in new arrangements for strings, winds, harp, and piano by Claude Lapalme, with Pierre McLean (piano), Valerie Milot (harp), Etienne Lafrance (double bass), Quatuor Molinari, and Pentaedre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolk songs I.
