TO mark Canada's Dominion Day on July 1, a special musical programme featuring the "Coronation Suite," by Healey Willan, will be broadcast in a link of the YC stations at 9.35 p.m. on Thursday, July 1. Dr. Willan was commissioned to compose this work by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It is written for chorus and orchestra, and will be played by the CBC Symphony Orchestra and Choir, conducted by Ettore Mazzoleni. The recording was airmailed to the NZBS by the CBC especially for this occasion, the 87th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. Canada's Dominion Day commemorates the signing of the British North American Act which united Canada from sea to sea and enabled it to develop independently within the framework of the British Commonwealth. The freedom which was guaranteed in the Act of Confederation also allowed the nation to build a dual culture, French and English, which has flowered in the sciences, in literature, art and music.
