As an introduction to this volume which he has prepared, Jean Lesage describes various traits that characterize the generation of composers active in Quebec since 1967, a symbolic date in view of the Universal Exposition held in Montreal that year. He attempts to define the specificities of this generation with respect to European and American composers in the same cohort.

A witness to his time, Célestin Deliège has produced a monumental, referential work, a history of style that is also informed by aesthetic and political issues. The central idea of historical evolution is linked to "music research," "research on code," and "idiom." As a result, the burden of music history is to establish a "survey of intentional and prescriptive theories and new poetics." The limits of these theories draw attention not only to musicological parlance, but moreover the relegation of numerous composers to the margins of this evolutionary history, of this uninterrupted trajectory from Darmstadt to Ircam. This dichotomy thus reflects the very same one that Deliège creates for himself. This article reveals that musical modernity in the second half of the last century was anchored in a far greater diversity of forces.
