With no commentary other than the music and words of the performers themselves, this fast-moving film presents the grandest Canadian concert of them all. Here, the performers include both the great and the unknown from across the country, the musical styles span the centuries, and the artists are involved in all stages of musicianship: learning, teaching, conducting, recording, performing. Among the film's many stars are Edith Butler, Beau Dommage, Maureen Forrester, Glenn Gould, Paul Horn, the Huggett Family, and Gilles Vigneault.

This is a short film about the Alberta All Girls Band Spectacular. The Edmonton-based band was invited to open the 1974 World Cup Soccer Championship at the Munich Olympic Stadium. They performed before a combined live and television audience of over half a billion people. The precise marching formations and fine musicianship are impressive.
