Happy 142nd Canada
Happy birthday Canada!
In honour of Canada’s 142nd birthday, I arranged O Canada for string quartet. I like to think of it as a birthday present to our great country. The idea came to me out of the blue on my way home from work and it was more or less fully formed upon arrival. Over the last couple days I’ve been getting it all down before it gets forgotten, or worse, tarnished in memory. My good friend Darcy Blinch and his string quartet will hopefully help me make a recording of this for me to share, in the mean time you’ll have to settle for the computer generated version. If anyone is interested in the sheet music just send me a heads up at travis at travisconrad dot com.
Enjoy your Canada Day everyone (and hopefully my arrangement :D ).

PS Guess who got Twitter! Some bastard took TravisConrad so I had to settle for TravisOfConrad. It’s the best name that was still available, trust me.
