About An Laoidh Naiseanta
This stirring anthem, An Laoidh Naiseanta, is a traditional Scottish Gaelic setting of the Canadian national anthem. Sung by SATB choir, it evokes a powerful sense of national pride and unity. The lyrics, originally in French and English, are here rendered in Gaelic, speaking of Canada as a land of brave people, crowned with maple leaves of red and gold. It praises the freedom found under its protection, a freedom that no enemy can snatch away. The text expresses the deep devotion of its people, wishing their country happiness, peace, and divine goodness. This arrangement offers a unique and resonant way to experience this patriotic declaration.
