2009 Interest Session - From the True North, Strong and Free: Canadian Choral Music

Canada is a young country with an abundance of terrain and plenty of room for the adventurous spirit. Her folk songs celebrate this spirit with stories about lumberjacks and loggers, fishermen and sailors, frontiersmen and explorers, cowboys and sod busters, miners and men on the railroad. One hears songs of the prairies, songs of the mountains, songs of the Great Lakes, and songs of the oceans; songs of love, or adventure, of danger; of loneliness, of longing, of dreams and memories. The tunes are often lifting happy, robust and boisterous, but they can also be plaintive, reflective, and deeply sad in the loneliness of isolation. Explore this treasury of stories - sing with the lions.
