My Great Grand Uncles The composers Eusèbe and Philias Champagne and their publisher brother Octave Champagne had little formal musical training but came from an ancient musical tradition nourished in the towns and villages of Québec since the arrival of the first colonists from France. The Champagne brothers were largely self taught and owed their success to the spontaneity and popular appeal of their music. Their songs, sung throughout New England and Québec.A cellist, Octave joined the Lowell Musicians Union in 1902 and, apart from his regular employment as an insurance agent for Metropolital Life, played in local orchestras and bands. Little is known about Octave’s musical training but his brother, Eusèbe, considered the family’s greatest musical talent, upon his arrival in Lowell about 1896 was already an accomplished musician and for a time studied violin at the New England Conservatory of Music.Masterful performers of the gigues, reels and songs of the folk repertoire as well as their own compositions, their presence was a requirement at neighborhood celebrations and family reunions.As popularity and publishing continually increased, Octave, Eusèbe and Philias entered the music business full time. In 1915, Philias opened a music store in Nashua, New Hampshire and in 1917 Eusèbe opened a music store on Moody Street in Lowell which remained in operation until 1923. The store in Nashua closed a few years before the one in Lowell. Both stores, besides the usual selection of sheet music and musical instruments, also served as outlets for the violins hand crafted by Eusèbe and Philias as well as an occasional viol. At this time also, Octave formed the Champagne Orchestra which he conducted and booked in Lowell’s vaudeville houses and theaters and in which both his brothers played the violin. Towards this end he purchased a controlling share in one of Lowell’s leading theaters.In the second half of the 1920s, changing times caused a decline in business and Eusèbe’s death in 1929 at age 64 marked the effective end of the family’s musical activities. Octave continued selling the sheet music until stocks were depleted and even published in 1932 one of Philias’s last songs, but in general little new music was written and in 1941, Octave died in Lowell. Philias continued playing the violin in local orchestras but spent most of his last years as a piano tuner and making violins. He died in Lowell in 1957.The Champagnes were born into an old musical tradition. Popular fiddlers, their renditions of the gigues and reels of rural Québec died with them although the tradition which they helped create in Lowell lives on in the work and recordings of Louis Beaudoin. The musical form of many of their songs, however, reflects and continues the folk tradition from which they came.

I hope to carry on the musical expression of my family in all styles and genres and have recorded over 5000 original songs that are available on several music sites since 1999.My home page www.laughingdervish.com since 1999 has links and info and EVERYTHING about Lowell
