"Before international fame, in 1967, he actually wrote and performed a piece called “The Tale of Canada” for the country’s 100th anniversary."

I assume, perhaps wrongly, that "The Tale of Canada" is the Canadian Railroad Trilogy. Or is there another anthem that I have neither heard nor can find?

If it IS the Trilogy, was it renamed, or did the writer either get it wrong, or just use some poetic license? Anyone know?
