In 1920 Dina’s cousin made her
religious profession in the Monastery of Chicoutimi, city in the Saguenay, a
river which starts in St-Jean Lake and goes until the St-Lawrence river.
In
order to attend this ceremony, several persons from Jacques Cartier’s Parish,
Dina among them, decided to take a cruise.
When they returned to Quebec the Parish priest, Mr. Cloutier, asked Dina
to write a musical piece as souvenir of that trip. She finished this composition in April 1921,
a few months before she entered the noviciate of the religious of Jesus and
Mary in August 1921 and the title is Rêverie
sur la Saguenay.
You can admire this beautiful and smooth
melody which evokes the beauties of nature to which Dina was very sensitive. Sr
Rachel Fournier, rjm. interprets this piece. Listen to it following this
