Indigo Atlantic Anthems: The Stories They Tell | Erin Mills Town Centre
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Indigo
Atlantic Anthems looks at eight songs that have come to be classics in Atlantic Canada. All of these iconic songs raise issues of importance in the story of the region. Rita MacNeil's "Working Man," for example, is a window into her extraordinary life and the remarkable and often dangerous world of coal mining in Nova Scotia. Lennie Gallant's "Peter's Dream" raises issues concerning the fishing industry that is an integral part of the economy and culture of Atlantic Canada. Other songs discussed include "Farewell to Nova Scotia," "Barrett's Privateers," "Sonny's Dream," "Bud the Spud," "Helene," and "Snowbird."
The stories captured in these extraordinary songs illuminate a key element of our tumultuous past and provide insight into life in contemporary Atlantic Canada.
Central to the book is an examination of the emotional power of music and the definition of a music anthem. How does a song rise to this status? The definition may change depending on generation and musical taste. Yet, all the songs here are so well known that audiences across the region identify with them and, in most cases, join in singing them. These are the songs that are our cultural touchstones.
