A better version of this piece has been uploaded to:

A little bit of Canadian patriotic music. Everyone got their Canadian flag ready to wave? ;)

For some strange reason, I sometimes find a certain sadness behind the overt cheer of some marches and the like, and with this particular piece I kept bursting into tears while brushing up on it! Silly musicians, eh?

  • Ohh... I loved it. They used to sing this song in school along with GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. I hope they should start doing this again. It's shameful that we Canadians do not care about our country or its history anymore...

    God bless my Canada,

    GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

  • Thank you! :) I agree with your sentiments about our country and its history. I do think that young Canadians are developing more pride in their country these days; maybe I am just being optimistic, but I hope not!

  • Hey thats great! This song sounds awesome played on the piano. Thanks for uploading it.

  • Glad you liked it; the bass notes do sound very nice on the grand. :)

  • Beautifully played. I only recently came across this piece, and am now haunted by it. Moved to tears also. And I'm not Canadian! Some compositions, I guess, both in music and lyric have this power of immediate emotional connection, irrespective of nationality. The German and the Welsh national anthems also do it for me.

  • Glad that I'm not the only one affected this way by the music (and that you liked my playing as well). :) I will now have to check out what the German & Welsh national anthems sound like (I have an 80's book of 'National Anthems of the World' which should have them). ;) :)

  • Wonderful Wonderful\

    GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

  • Well, I think you are right but I have to say that an immigrant cares more about this country than Canadians. I am a teacher and majority of the monarchists in my history class are Chinese, blacks and Indians. I was surprised when I saw Queen's picture posted on Indians Locker. Anyway, it was nice to see that...

    GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!
