Canadian and Quebecois artist Elliot Maginot released his rendition of Marie Noël.
The music is French Pop. The guitar gives the song a folksy, intimate vibe. It starts with a fun semi-fast beat through the love flute and guitar. The rhythm remains upbeats and boldly has a gradual structure. The composition is incredible. It has a modern style to the holiday classic, giving it a great arrangement. The music parallels Quebec folk music – it reminds me of Cowboys Fringants and Mes Aïeux.
Elliot Maginot’s voice is husky. He sings rhythmically. When he performs this piece, it feels personal and from the heart. Elliot Maginot honours the Christmas classic, originally performed by Robert Charlebois.
