Information/Write-up

1967 was Canada's year, the year we celebrated One Hundred Years of Confederation in every way we knew how, celebrations public and celebrations private, large and small. The CBC ninety minute special "ONCE UPON A HUNDRED YEARS", produced by Peter Kelly, is the story of 1967, a story Canadians could be, and were, proud of." The man chosen to write the music for this glorious film special was one of Canada's best known composers-arrangers, Mr. LUCIO AGOSTINI. He built a theme to match the year, a theme that really captures the spirit of a nation celebrating its one hundredth birthday. "ONCE UPON A HUNDRED YEARS" aired on the CBC Network January 1st, 1968. Produced by Peter Kelly, with the talents of Max Furguson and Thom Benson. It was recorded the previous November (17th and 18th) in Toronto, with an orchestra consisting of some of the finest musicians in the country. The soundtrack is MUSIC ONLY, no narration as in the film. This is a very rare piece of Canadiana, and one almost certainly never to be re-issued in any way.
