Newfoundland
"Ode to Newfoundland"
Words by: Charles Cavendish Boyle
Music by: C. Hubert H. Parry
In use: 1907-1949 (as provincial song since 1980)
The Ode to Newfoundland dates back to 1907, when Newfoundland achieved dominion status within the British Empire. It subsequently adopted its national anthem, "Ode to Newfoundland", which was written in 1904. When Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, it ceased to exist as a separate nation, and "Ode to Newfoundland" ceased to be the official anthem of the region. However, in 1980, it was readopted as the official provincial anthem.
