Claude Champagne was born on 27 May 1891, in Montreal and died on 21 December 1965, also in Montreal. He studied violin with Albert Chamberland, and piano with R.O. Pelletier. In 1921 he went straight to Paris to study music. By then he was drawn into modality, which stayed with him the rest of his life. At his return to Canada he became heavily involved with teaching. He was attached to the Montreal Catholic School Commission as co-ordinator of solfége in elementary schools, and he was at the same time professor at the McGill Cons. After that he mainly taught many of the country's most promissing composers.
