Dear Dr Trevor Payne,
With what great joy and pride I received news from Professor Charles Ellison of my laureate for the distinguished scholarship that you so generously offer. I would like to thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for this financial assistance and prestigious honour, and hope that some time in the near future will be able to firmly shake your hand and say the words in person
Thank You.

Bourse en musique noire de Trevor W. Payne, C.M.

La bourse a été créée grâce à la générosité du professeur Trevor W. Payne, membre de l’Ordre du Canada, qui a obtenu un Baccalauréat en Musique de l'Université de Concordia en 1980. Le professeur Payne est aussi le fondateur et le directeur artistique du chœur internationalement reconnu, le Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir. Fondé en 1982, le Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir a remporté le prix Juno en 1995 pour son album « Jubilation V: Joy to the World ».

Essai de Christian Tauchner (2006/07)

Version anglaise uniquement

Black Music, in other words, music composed by people of African descent, has greatly impacted my development and evolution as a musician, and as a human being. African-American music, African music, Afro-Latin American music and Afro-Caribbean music (such as reggae and calypso) have all served to broaden my musical horizons and my deepen my appreciation of various Black cultures around the world.

By listening to, and/or learning about, the Senegalese mbalax music of Youssou N’Dour, the a cappella isicathamiya and mbube music of South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and the African chant-inspired Circlesongs of Bobby McFerrin, amongst many others, I have been able to absorb and identify with some of the common elements in Black Music from different regions of the world. Underlying themes of spirituality, strength and pride pervade these various styles, regardless of idiomatic techniques or methods of expression.

L'autoroute du paradis, donc. La bretelle d'accès au Highway to Heaven était hier pavée par le Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir. Nous étions en voiture pour un récital pour le moins habité, marquant du même coup le quinzième anniversaire de l'étiquette Justin Time.
Alain Brunet, La Presse
It started out as one show! s'exclame au bout du fil le coloré Trevor W. Payne, fondateur et directeur du Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir. Le personnage a réussi en moins de vingt ans à rendre sa chorale si populaire que les Céline Dion, Michael Bolton et Ray Charles de ce monde se l'arrachent. Sans compter que Nelson Mandela et la reine Elizabeth II ont déjà flirté avec lui…
