	Canadian Railroad Trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian Railroad Trilogy is a song by Gordon Lightfoot which describes the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
		The structure of the song was patterned after Gibson and Camp's Civil War Trilogy, with a slow tempo section in the middle and faster paced sections at the beginning and end.
		While Lightfoot's song echoes the optimism of the railroad age, it also chronicles the cost in sweat and blood of building the "iron road runnin' from the sea to the sea".

		Today it seems perfectly normal that Canadian musicians and their music are present everywhere, and have pride of place, not only in Canada, but around the world.
		When Gordon Lightfoot embarked on his recording career in the 1960’s, to be a Canadian musician and an international star was almost a contradiction in terms.
		“The Canadian Railroad Trilogy” and the album on which it appears, “Gord’s Gold,” have been selected as Masterworks this year in recognition of the profound impact of Gordon Lightfoot’s music on millions of listeners, and on the Canadian music industry.

		Few performers have become part of the fabric of Canadian life in the way that Gordon Lightfoot and his music have.
		He was in the vanguard of the flowering of Canadian popular music, which took place in the 1960s and 1970s, and his themes, drawn from the Canadian landscape, touched a profound chord, perhaps best represented by “The Canadian Railroad Trilogy.”

	The Philosophy of Railways: The Transcontinental Railway Idea in British North America by Douglas Francis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This philosophy of railways had a definite national ethos to it, den Otter argues, but it was an ethos that rested on certain premises that might appear at first glance not to be nationalistic at all in the traditional sense of the word.
		As this technology was adapted to Canadian needs it added to the national rhetoric supporting the belief that railroads were an integral part of its nation building, and a British North American technological nationalism developed.
		With the exception of Thomas Keefer, the engineer-cum-railroad promoter whose pamphlet The Philosophy of Railroads (1849) – of which den Otter’s book title is an altered version – contributed so much to popularizing railroads in British North America, all were, according to den Otter, politicians, railway financiers, or railway magnates.

	Ein2: [Songs from a Big Place]
		While Holly Cole is Canadian, this song is a cover of a Johnny Nash's composition.
		Holly's rendition is much purer and clearer than any of the other versions I've heard of this song and perfectly highlights the Canadian vocal jazz scene she shares with other luminaries like Diana Krall.
		Born on the prairies in the province of Manitoba, she's done surprisingly well in writing, producing, and managing her own music, managing even several platinum and gold certifications for singles--no mean feat when you consider the genre she's working in.

		To be eligible, songs had to be written and performed by Canadians, and refer at least peripherally to Canada.
		In a few cases, marked with asterisks, there is some ongoing debate about whether they are describing Canada or not, so the judges will have the additional task of voting on whether they qualify.
		My biggest disappointment was the vast array of brilliant Canadian writers who have not penned a single unarguably Canadian song (Sarah McLachlan, f'r'instance) and those whose only musical mention of Canada is disparaging, or in parodies or secondary works.

		The highlight of the competition to me was when the top five actually performed as a band and played instruments singing Gordon Lightfoot's Canadian Railroad Trilogy.
		It was the first time in any of the Idol shows worldwide that any of the contestants had played instruments, and I have to admit, it was pretty good.
