Reference excerpt

Joseph Marcel Jacques Labrecque (8 June 1917 – 18 March 1995) was a Québécois folk singer, storyteller, ethnologist, actor, producer and publisher.

Biography Jacques Labrecque was born on 8 June 1917 in Saint-Benoît, Quebec to Charles Labrecque, a farmer, and Berthe Rhéaume. He was baptized on the tenth and given the name Joseph Marcel Jacques Labrecque. Labrecque started singing on his parents' farm. He was taught in Montreal by Céline Marier, Henri Pontbriand and Roger Filiatrault. Oscar O'Brien taught him harmony and Marie-Thérèse Paquin taught him his French repertoire. He made his debut at 17 as a tenor; he sung popular songs on Radio-Canada programs "Le Réveil Rural". In 1937 he played the role of Rigobert in Varney's Les mousquetaires au couvent at the Variétés lyriques. He signed a three-year contract with the National Concerts and Artists of New York in 1946 and toured Acadia. In 1949, Jacques Labrecque represented Canada at an international folklore festival in Venise. From 1951 to 1956, he stayed in Europe and gave concerts of classical and folk music. He returned to Montreal and founded the Musicana record company. In addition to folk songs, he also performed songs from newer composers, thus making them known to a wider public. In 1957, he recorded his first major success: "La Parenté" by Jean-Paul Filion. By 1955, he was a member of the Société d'ethnographie francaise. During the 1960s, Labrecque was known as the greatest folklorist of Québec. He won a trophy for the best folk recording of 1960 at the Grand prix du disque of CKAK. He gave multiple concerts abroad. He opened the restaurant Chez Jacques Labrecque with his wife Pauline on Stanley Street, Montreal in the mid-1960s. After a tour with the Jeunesses Musicales Canada in 1970–1971, he returned to Paris on a grant from the French government and gave recitals in France and other countries. He taught folk songs to students in psychomotor re-education at the University of Paris VI. He returned to Québec in 1975 and retired to the Éboulements, Charlevoix. He hosted the Radio-Canada series of half-hour programs "Chansons voltigeantes... chansons dolentes" in summer 1976. He performed at the Grand Théâtre de Québec in December 1979. In the 1980s, he started directing the Éditions et Disques Patrimoine. He managed the Galerie du patrimoine in Éboulements which exhibits painters and documents related to the region. He hosted "Veillées de contes espéciales" there for tourists. Labrecque was hospitalized due to diabetes at the Pierre-Boucher Hospital of Longueuil and died there from an heart attack on 18 March 1995.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jacques Labrecque

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jacques Labrecque claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jacques Labrecque before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jacques Labrecque ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jacques Labrecque

In research: Jacques Labrecque appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jacques Labrecque in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jacques Labrecque is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1917 births, 1995 deaths, 20th-century storytellers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jacques Labrecque outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
