If you're not restricting yourself to Melodie from France, check out the h=
oldings at
the Canadian Music Centre . Some composers that I'=
ve enjoyed
include Jacques Hetu, Claude Vivier, Clermont Pepin, Michelline Coulombe
Saint-Marcoux, Claude Champagne and Lionel Daunais. There is probably ver=
y
interesting repertoire by American French composers too!

Cheers
