Early life and educationBorn in Montreal, Viau studied the piano in his youth with Arthur Caron. At the age of 17 he began studying singing seriously. He received his early training privately and only later in life pursued university studies. In 1966 he earned a Bachelor of Music from the Université de Montréal and that same year was awarded a teaching certificate from the Quebec Ministry of Education. His teachers included Victor Brault, Arthur Laurendeau (voice), Conrad Letendre (diction), Georges Mercure (Gregorian chant), Oscar O'Brien, Michel Perrault, and Roland Van de Goor (harmony).[1] CareerViau made his professional opera debut as Mercutio in Charles Gounod's Roméo et Juliette at Loew's Theatre in Montreal in 1931. From 1932 to 1934 he sang in Paul-Émile Corbeil's Imperial Grenadiers. For the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission he performed in two series in 1934: La Petite Histoire and Le Chanteur de lied. For the latter series he collaborated with pianists Léo-Pol Morin and Jean-Marie Beaudet. He soon after began singing on CBC Radio programs. He notably performed for 21 years on Le Réveil rural and 15 years on Le Quart d'heure de La Bonne Chanson. The majority of his recordings were made from the late 1930s through the 1950s.[1] Viau began composing his own works in the late 1930s. In 1954 he published Six Chansonnettes pour bambins et bambines and in 1958 Six Chansons enfantines with Éditions Albert Viau. From 1953-1954 he worked for CJMS as a radio producer. He served as the choirmaster at St-Sixte Church in Ville St-Laurent, Montreal from 1950–1983; also operating a private studio during those years where he taught voice, piano, guitar, and recorder lessons. From 1965-1985 he taught music for the Catholic School Commission of Montreal. He continued to give recitals in Canada and the United States and work with vocal groups as a director and arranger until his retirement in 1986.[1] In 2001 Viau died in Montreal at the age of 90. His archives are currently held by the Société d'histoire de la Haute-Yamaska.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0003593 |title=Albert Viau |work=The Canadian Encyclopedia |author=Paule Daunais |accessdate=24 April 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070822033656/http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0003593 |archivedate=22 August 2007 }} {{Use dmy dates|date=January 2012}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Viau, Albert}} 15 : 1910 births|2001 deaths|Université de Montréal alumni|Canadian baritones|Canadian composers|Canadian male composers|Canadian folk singers|Canadian music educators|Canadian operatic baritones|Musicians from Montreal|20th-century Canadian singers|20th-century opera singers|20th-century Canadian composers|Male composers|20th-century male singers |
