Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison (If We Needed a Fifth Season), also known as Les cinq saisons ("The Five Seasons"), is the second album from Quebec band Harmonium, released in 1975.
The album marks a departure from the folk rock sound of Harmonium towards a unique progressive rock sound. Serge Fiori, Michel Normandeau and Louis Valois are joined this time by Pierre Daigneault and Serge Locat. Marie Bernard also provides her expertise for the Ondes Martenot, while Judy Richards sings in "Histoires sans paroles".
The album's theme revolves around the four seasons, with a track for each, and a new fifth season in "Histoires sans paroles", a 17-minute song. "Dixie" is also a notable track because of Locat's unforgettable piano solo. Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison, while a transitional album, became Harmonium's most popular piece of work and one of the most influential albums in Quebec's music history.
