| I just realized that you were talking about Expo 88 in Australia.
The song I just sang 8^) was from Expo '67 in Montreal, during
our Centennial.

| Hum, "Vivre la Canada"
| | |------ This we know
| |---------- this should be "le" since Canada (the word)
| is of the male gender.
|--------------- this should be "vive" (vivre = to live)
Vive le Canada anyway,

| Since we're on the topic of Canadian tunes...
...one thing that has always stuck in my mind was the beautiful music which
accompanied the '76 Olympics in Montreal. Especially haunting was the long,
beautiful-yet-mournful closing solo played by Maynard Ferguson, followed by
people dancing joyously in the Olympic stadium. For me, the joy and beauty of
those moments outshines even my own country's bicentennial in my memory.
Then during one of those trivial moments in ABC's broadcast of the winter '88
Olympics in Calgary, Jim McKay mentioned in passing that all of the '76 music
was composed by a Canadian named (I think this is correct) Dominic Frontiere.
I have checked the analog of "Books in Print" for records, and have never found
anything by this fabulous composer. How I would love to hear those tunes
again.
Can anybody comment on this work?
Russ Schwartz.

| I have the music from the Montreal Olympics at home. I'll try to
locate it and get you some more information. The name you mentioned
didn't sound familiar, but you could be correct. In any event, the
composer was French Canadian and he was considered a chiled prodigy.
I believe he died at a very young age.
Regards,
Garry

previous reply.

| >> -< Is this Toronto french? >-
>> Vivre
was a typo, sorry.
>> la Canada
was an error, since, for some dumb reason, I thought Canada
was of the feminine gender.
>>Vive le Canada anyway
yup.
