US$39.99

The Canadian National Anthem as performed by the Orchestre national d;Ile-de-France.

“O Canada” came into being in 1880, 100 years before it became Canada’s National Anthem.

The song was commissioned by the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, the Honourable Théodore Robitaille, to mark the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day celebrations in the City of Québec on June 24, 1880, a performance which was also meant to honour the Congrès national des Canadiens français (National Congress of French Canadians).
