After placing his first encounters with Henri Pousseur and his works in context, the author reveals the motivations that drove him to organize Visages d'Henri Pousseur (Portraits of Henri Pousseur), an event that took place in Montreal. A summary of the activities surrounding this event precedes a deeper probing into certain objections, sometimes of a personal nature, towards Pousseur's oeuvre. This is followed by an examination of the pertinence, quality and relevance of the composer's works.

Sound creation is a form of musical creation that exploits expressive qualities of sound beyond traditional patterns of melody, harmony, and measured rhythm. Since the 1960s, educators from various countries—Canada, the United States, England, and France—proposed teaching models based on different approaches to sound creation, while sharing the common goal of a musical education that is both fundamental and in-depth. These models were integrated into Quebec's curriculum at the turn of the 1970s. However, despite efforts made by the Ministry of Education over many decades, sound creation is still not implemented effectively, neither in the undergraduate music education programs nor in teaching practices in schools.

One way of propagating the philosophy of Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier was by means of two periodicals: La Phalange, published from 1836 to 1843, and La Démocratie pacifique, published from 1843 to its termination during the early Second Empire in November 1851. From the start, these publications proposed not only reports on the latest concerts and stage events, but also more discursive essays on the subject of music. Beginning in 1838, the critic Allyre Bureau was central to this activity. He wrote two articles a month during the following decade and beyond. The texts by Bureau and his colleagues in La Phalange and La Démocratie pacifique brought together music and Fourier's philosophy. This article analyzes these rapprochements and the social and musical discourse deployed in both publications.
