If We Needed a Fifth Season....... Si On Avait Besoin dUne Cinquième Saison - also known as Les Cinq Saisons (The Five Seasons) - is the second album by Quebec band HARMONIUM, released in 1975. The album marked a departure from the folk rock sound of the bands self-titled debut album towards a unique progressive rock sound, and also marked the growth of the band, as members Serge Fiori, Michel Normandeau and Louis Valois were joined by Pierre Daigneault and Serge Locat. It is regarded as one of the best transitional albums ever recorded and an essential item in Québecs music history. It was nominated for the Juno Award for Best Selling Album in 1976 and was ranked at 56 in music journalist Bob Mersereaus The Top 100 Canadian Albums. The album revolves around a seasonal concept; the first four songs each represent one of the traditional four seasons, respectively spring, summer, autumn, and winter, while the final track, Histoires sans paroles, represents the imaginary fifth season. Some lyrics on this album, like on Depuis lautomne, show the separatist ideology shared by the band at that time. The band was supported by Marie Bernard playing the Ondes Martenot, as well as the voice of Judi Richards in Histoires sans paroles.
