Home of the Beaver (Land of the Silver Birch) - Brass Choir

This traditional Canadian folk song has been sung around campfires and while paddling canoes for decades and continues to be popular with Boy and Girl Scouts in both Canada and the United States. The beautiful lyrics paint a picture of the author's woodland indigenous home in Six Nations, Ontario. This arrangement of Home of the Beaver - Land of the Silver Birch by David Marlatt starts off hauntingly before moving to a driving, upbeat feel. This folk song arrangement is part of a collection for young musicians celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary since joining Confederation. (2:10)
