Record information – Details Fonds/collection:RADIO-CANADA INTERNATIONALAccession:1982-0125Media:SoundProduction company:Radio-Canada InternationalProduction credit:producer, Edward Devlin; script, Edith Fowke; music, Gilbert Lacombe; narrator/music, Alan MillsDescription:Several stages of development are illustrated by songs: from early timber-operations (a rowdy lumberjack song) to the latest technological conquest of the wilderness (a contemporary ballad); from early explorations of the Arctic to the settling of the Western prairies; from the harships of pioneer days in the West to recent hardships in years of drought and economic depression. The Narrator concludes: "Canada's story has been one of steady growth, occasional setbacks and fresh discoveries. And this has been reflected in her songs." "Today, like many other countries, Canada stands on the threshold of a greater era of discoveries and achievements. And this too will be reflected in the songs of her people." <14mn 20s>Language:EnglishOriginal number:E-78Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
