The author aims to provide a first profile of musical life in the parish churches of 19th century Quebec as it existed against the back-drop of a fast-developing parochial society. This initial undertaking is based for the most part on material from local archives and monographs, sources which have not yet been fully explored or dealt with in a systematic fashion. Taking the precentor as a central and emblematic figure representing the popular tradition, this article attempts to outline a history of relationships between Quebec society and liturgical music. It is the history of a society that, while confronted with an international movement toward liturgical and Gregorian restoration, was receptive to the influences of the non-liturgical – indeed profane – music then in fashion.

Studies relating to the notion of musical ethos in Antiquity, while plentiful in number, have suffered from a piecemeal approach that pervades them. The result is that musical ethos is often ignored for being poorly understood. The goal of this article is to examine the discourse surrounding the study of musical ethos; it proposes that the absence of musicological interest in the subject has been caused by the structure of ancient knowledge itself, which could be characterized today as interdisciplinary. This interdisciplinary aspect leads the researcher to adopt an epistemological stance that implies a return to primary sources, and as such to the study of ancient languages and nonmusicological sources.

World music, which first appeared at the beginning of the 1980s, is a heterogeneous label under which everything that does not fit into other musical categories can be classified. Its success can be seen as a manifestation of a yearning for the world and a desire for the Other, which are also observable in other domains. The consumption of world music could be one way of expressing the dream of human reconciliation and a better world. An analysis of this music exposes its heterogeneous nature and at the same time underlines the tight links between world music and modem commercial music. While ethnomusicologists and other collectors have long been recording exotic popular music, world music reaches a broader audience and allows commercial profits to be made from the thirst for exoticism. This analysis also covers technical conditions and rules of production and marketing, since these determine in part what world music actually is.
