The Heart of Canada

The Heart of Canada

"The Heart of Canada" is a poem written by Alfred Noyes, and set to music by the English composer Edward Elgar. It was one of the eight songs Elgar wrote for the "Pageant of Empire" which opened the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley on 23 April 1924.

The song refers Canada as a member of the British Empire "Queen of the West...". It is a solo song of two verses, with a choral refrain "Canada! Fair young Canada!".
