Harmonium was a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1972 in Montreal, Quebec. It became one of the most well‑known music groups in French Canada during the 1970s. Lead vocalist and guitarist Serge Fiori met Michel Normandeau (vocals and guitar) at a theatre music meeting in November 1972. In 1973, they met bassist Louis Valois and formed Harmonium. In November 1973, the group made their first radio appearance on CHOM‑FM, performing three songs: “Pour un instant,” “Un musicien parmi tant d’autres,” and “Un refrain parmi tant d’autres.” The first two songs were later recorded professionally for their self‑titled debut album. The third song, written as a sequel to “Un musicien parmi tant d’autres,” was never included on the album and remained unreleased. A single was issued at the time, featuring the hit “Pour un instant” on the A‑side and “100,000 Raisons” on the B‑side. The latter track was eventually added to the CD reissue of the album nearly twenty years later. The debut album became a major success, leading to a sold‑out tour throughout Quebec and French Canada. Although he had been a member since 1973, flute and saxophone player Richard Beaudet did not perform on the Harmonium album. He was replaced by Pierre Daigneault in April 1974. On April 27, 1974, Harmonium was interviewed and performed on the CBC Radio program The Entertainers. In August 1974, pianist, keyboardist, and synthesizer player Serge Locat joined the band.
