Sketches of Canada

This suite features three Canadian folk songs, each with a contrasting style, meter, and key. Beginning with “The False Young Man” in a delicate, light fashion, it continues with the beautiful “The Maid on the Shore”—a folk song from Newfoundland—finally, the suite closes with the powerful “Bold Wolfe.” This charismatic series of musical vignettes will offer the opportunity to reinforce a wide variety of musical concepts.
