Canadian March: Heart of Oak

[@gregbuckenara8063]

Smooth Seas and Following Seas Shipmates. BRAVO ZULU from Western Australia.

[@YugyStudios]

This march is also used by Chile’s navy. The beginning of “Heart of Oak” is also used for the Malaysian Navy’s march “Samudera Raya”.

[@Danjori]

Very neat facts! I'll have to find the Chilean version

[@YugyStudios]

I’ve also got to add that I found a vocal version of “Samudera Raya”, but only the instrumental version has the intro to “Heart of Oak”, based on what I found.

[@RobloxStudioTests]

Used by the Sea Cadet in Hong Kong. Heard it as the school anthem of sports day. God save HK

[@terryjackson4540]

Comes originally from Royal navy sailing ships were made of oak ,

[@migueldeala2497]

We use this for marches in my Canadian Sea Cadets.

Quite similar to the British Royal Navy

It is exact same

[@craigsmail5029]

@@lukedelport8231 Same with some flourishes. Some trills, piccolo lines, some sort of pulsing baritone after and trumpet call at the end.

You might forget that Canada's head of state is, well, the British Monarch

one and the same culturally

[@zenokada2278]

The singing sounded more Canadian than basically any Canadian

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

In actual fact this IS the anthem of the Royal Navy. The "wonderful year" referred to is 1797 which, if memory serves is before the RCN was started. The Canadian Navy shares many traditions with it's older brother the RN, not least in heroism on convoys during WW2!

[@Danjori]

And it's used by the Canadian Navy, and they performed this version.

[@gerogegerog5926]

Canada is the only foreign country which is allowed to escort US helicopters which is why you see some in the opening

[@tonybarde2572]

I sing this in the bathtub

[@sayhi2johny]

Well someone complained that the song lacks “ diversity “ and “ inclusiveness” soo the Canadian navy can’t sing it anymore

[@Teochewtuahang]

I didnt know that Canada has aircraft carrier

[@Militaria-pr9rj]

They don't; that was a US carrier during a joint exercise. Canada had a carrier until 1970; HMCS Bonnaventure.

[@drinhajrizaj1766]

​@@outnapped2they never had one

[@ivorholtskog5506]

I too marched to this tune in my sea cadet days. I understand that the main marches are of British origin. To the Canadian band master. Could you come up with a Canadian military tune for each branch of the Canadian armed forces?

[@LauchlanA-yh2hi]

I mean I like, it reminds us of who made this navy in the first place!

[@EstongMakabayan]

Seriously

[@steveforster9764]

It's not Candian it's British Royal Navy it's been around since 1759 a 100 years before Canada became a country

[@Danjori]

It's the official march of the Canadian Navy.

[@YugyStudios]

This march is used because Canada has similar Navy traditions to those of the Royal Navy.

[@littlestarlet3841]

Yes it's a Royal Navy anthem however if you read the History of Canada's Navy it is the British who molded and born the Royal Canadian Navy and by tradition it will carry on Heart of Oak as the Anthem of the RCN.

[@Arsjdaj_]

it is technically the "Canadian heart of oak" because the lyrics are altered visibly.

[@JusticeAlways]

I have furniture made of oak 😅

[@juliuscaesar5397]

I love this future US state.

Never. For Queen and Empire!

God Save the Queen!

[@TorontonianAvgeek]

NEVER FOR EVER! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN AND KING, AND CANADA!! 🇨🇦

[@lukedelport8231]

This is a Royal Navy song not a Canadian one

[@1812AndMore]

It is also the March Past of the Royal Canadian Navy. It's a shared piece

[@Danjori]

Most of the Commonwealth use this for their Navy anthem

[@littlestarlet3841]

Hey guys!!! Remember Canada is a Commonwealth Country for me personally it's Royal Canadian Navy hymn question me why i tell you....you read History so that you will know!!!

[@littlestarlet3841]

@@1812AndMore I agree because Most of the Commonwealth Navies are part of the Royal Navy before until they separated and have it's own identity of their own country however they still carry the tradition of the Mother Navy.(Royal Navy).
