for anyone wondering O Canada! Our home and native land

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise

The true north, strong and free

From far and wide, O Canada

We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free

O Canada! We stand on guard for thee

O Canada! We stand on guard for thee.

you're welcome lol

@EternalDarkness316 For your info: written 26 years before the English version. O Canada!

Terre de nos aïeux,

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.

Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,

Il sait porter la croix.

Ton histoire est une épopée,

Des plus brillants exploits.

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

@halloerde vrai: je trouve dommage qque vous n'ayez d'ailleur pas demandé à un compositeur canadien de réaliser votre hymne national, plutôt que vous approprier une partie d'une oeuvre mondiale. Certe c'est un bon choix mais ce n'est pas assez personnel. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce choix ?

[halloerde]

@foncleaa Mon francais est trop pauvre. Je doit repondre en anglais. Personal, does not mean seeking only inner inspiration, with no other influences. You look within, and without. Great artists sought inspiration from each other. Routhier composed the poem, and commissioned Lavalle to set it to music. His vast knowledge would have led him to hear prosaic equalities between the poem and Mozarts' march. He did, however. make it his own heartfelt, and personal tribute. Thank your for your insight.

excelent!!!!

Beautiful. Good feeling and understanding, Karajan. Almost as harmonic as Colin Davis' version.

A bit more tempo, Mr HVK - otherwise - splendid!

Mozart: a time travelling Canadian

[shmoker2010]

Wow, you can really hear the influence this had on the composer of Canada's National Anthem.

[halloerde]

@shmoker2010 The composer of O Canada, Calixa Lavalee, was an opera conductor who knew this music well.

[foncleaa]

@shmoker2010 sorry but it's a lack of inspiration. You should have asked for a local musician to compose your Anthem.

Lovely and quintessentially Mozart...sheer perfection.
