Zusammenfassung:"Kwak'wakw'wakw welcome songs, an aria from Joseph Quesnel's 1808 opera Lucas et Cecile, rubbaboos (a combination of elements from music by First Peoples, the French, and the English), the Tin Pan Alley hits of Shelton Brooks, and the contemporary work of Claude Vivier and Blue Rodeo all blend together in Canada's rich musical heritage. Elaine Keillor offers an unprecedented history of Canadian musical expressions and their relationship to Canada's great cultural and geographic diversity." "A survey of "musics" in Canada - the country's multiplicity of musical genres and rich heritage - is complemented by vignettes highlighting topics such as Inuit throat games, the music of k.d. lang, and orchestras in Victoria. Traversing Canada's geographical landscape to discover corresponding musical landscapes, Music in Canada illuminates the past but also looks to the future to examine the context within which Canadian music will continue to develop.
