Snapshots of Musical Life from the Citadelle de Quebéc

The following photographs derive from my recent travel abroad in Canada via Québec City, Québec. Although that specific region of the country applies French linguistics and customs, one must also consider the British English impact on Canada. In this specific instance, I took the opportunity to visit the fortification known as the Citadelle de Québec. This area focused primarily on the historical significance of the fort: from the British capture and occupation of Québec to the modern era and the role of the Canadian Military from World War I through the Korean War and beyond. The Citadelle also functions as an active base for the Royal 22nd Regiment. This group was established in the 1920s with the express purpose of protecting the British Monarchy, such as when they had been directed to guard Buckingham Palace in World War II.
​
What does this information have to do with music? Music served to entertain, provide comfort to, and strengthen the morale for Canadians involved in military combat throughout the global conflicts. Whenever necessary the musicians would also drop their  instruments and assist the wounded soldiers. The band of the Royal 22nd Regiments frequently presents music concerts spanning different genre with a diverse repertoire covering everything from classical to video game music.
