Hintergrund
Canadian Carnival was written in 1939, seven months after Britten left England for North America. Its bracing out-of-doors energy shows his rapid assimilation of American music, particularly that of his friend Copland. Based on a variety of folk material, the work culminates with a lively treatment of the well-known French-Canadian tune ‘Alouette’.
