Danielle Fournier

A music teacher affiliated with the École de musique Vincent-d’Indy and member of the Quebec Music Teachers’ Association (QMTA), Danielle Fournier is also active as an accompanist pianist, chamber musician and composer.

Her professional work has led her to produce various arrangements and compositions. Several of her piano pieces, appearing in the Répertoire de piano (syllabus) of  the École de musique Vincent-d’Indy and that of the Anna-Marie Globenski Preparatory Music School of Laval University, are sometimes played across Canada during exams and music competitions, especially in Quebec.

Danielle is the author of two collections of piano compositions and three volumes of Christmas carols, arranged for piano, one of which is for four hands piano duets. In addition, her compositions “Song for Jimmy” and “Mary's Little Reverie” were recorded in 2007 by pianist Michel Fournier (CD album 17:05).

Compositions and arrangements for piano

First of all, here is a series of individual pieces written for the piano - sometimes for my students. This includes some arrangements, including the traditional piece "Trois anges sont venus ce soir" (“Three Angels Came Tonight”)

My piano albums sometimes comprise a packaging of selected individual compositions, sometimes a series of arrangements of Christmas carols.

Exploring Salon Music of the Past

Step back in time to the elegant salons of the early 1900s, where another musical genre reigned supreme. Salon music, with its enchanting melodies and lively rhythms, captivated audiences and set the stage for unforgettable gatherings. Danielle and her brother pianist, Michel Fournier, lead us on a journey to uncover the hidden gems of this bygone era.
