O' CANADA Canadian National Anthem Lyrics by the Honourable Robert Stanley Weir Music composed by Calixa Lavalee Tabbed by Clint Hamilton 09/07/2007 based on a transcription by Kyle Peters This is a really basic version of O' Canada with very little expression. In the future I may tab another with harmonies and more techniques but for now I need to get this to my players. I plan on recording a new national anthem for the opening exercises at the high school where I work as a T.A./Music Administrator. There are plenty of players here and some beautiful singers. Wish us luck. Enjoy, and feel free to add some 3rds and 5ths to the melody line to thicken it up. Comments to [email protected] Thanks to Kyle Peters for the chords.
