Book
Description:“LUCIE
THERRIEN has enjoyed a lifelong musical career. She grew up in the
Province of Québec, establishing a career when she moved to New
England, U.S.A., as a young adult. French-Canadian music and
traditions are her signature, coupled with her own expressive
creativity. She has published many CDs, DVDs, a songbook and
researches, performed over five continents, and won numerous awards
from the NHSCA, a state agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
The book has three distinct parts: Memoir glimpses,
written in English poetry (prose and/or rhyming style), with a
French
cachet, chronicling the critical events that paved her life: the inner
struggles brought on by her cultural, linguistic and national
duality;
events following her crossing of the border; surviving crises; illness;
and challenges, both as a young girl and as a woman. It details how she
carved a unique niche in an unusual, challenging and competitive career
in French, in an English speaking country - a veritable tour de force.
Traveling the world as a single woman entertainer, she encountered
danger and joy, and had to make difficult choices when it came to
relationships. Traditions:
French-Canadian gives an overview of the history of feasts,
recipes, dances, and games she was brought up with. Songs & Poems includes the
lyrics and poetry recorded on the CD
(included).
