About This Item
London, England: The Frederick Harris Company, 1914. Bilingual Edition. Paperback. Near Very Good. A very early English/French bilingual wording of the Canadian National Anthem, first performed in French in 1880 as "Chant National" in Quebec City. The French version here, uses Judge Routhier's original wording, while the English version uses Teschemacher's wording, with striking differences between the two. Musical score, folio (14 inches tall), pp. [2], 3-6, [7 - blank], [8], (publisher counts covers in pagination), lower cover with the musical short "Boys of the King" (1909) by Bingham and James. Score is toned and lightly soiled with some creases, edge wear and a sympathetic white tape reinforcement to spine, name in ink at top of front cover. "O Canada !" was officially declared the Canadian National Anthem in 1980, exactly 100 years after it's original composition and first performance in Quebec. There have been many different wordings put forth and used along the way to it's present state, with this being a good example of an early bilingual one.
