CJ’07 Sunrise Ceremony Soundscape

Canadian Scout Jamboree 2007 Centennial Sunrise Ceremony

By Mike Reid, June 17, 2007

Scouts Canada held a Centennial Sunrise Ceremony on August 1, 2007 at Tamaracouta Scout Reserve, Quebec, Canada as part of the Canadian Scout Jamboree 2007 (CJ’07). The audio files below were played during the ceremony.

Please feel free to use any of these files for your Scouting purposes. However, if used in any other recordings, please give credit where it is due.

I hope your Scouting Centennial celebrations are as rich and rewarding as the one at CJ'07 was.

Yours in Scouting Friendship,
Scouter Mike "Manitou" Reid

CJ'07 Sunrise Ceremony Soundscape (Short Version) — This is a post-Jamboree re-edit to make the soundscape more usable for your own ceremonies or celebrations. It features all of the elements listed on the show version but without the campfire songs.
Kudu Horn — Single Note (High) — This is the first of the two notes in the kudu horn sequences. It is recorded as a separate track for you to use in ceremonies as you wish.
Kudu Horn — Single Note (Low) — This is the second of the two notes in the kudu horn sequences. It is recorded as a separate track for you to use in ceremonies as you wish.
Kudu Horns — Triple Set (Both Notes) — This is the sequence that appears at the beginning and end of the soundscape. In the soundscape, it is processed to sound as if it is coming closer or receding respectively. It is recorded here unaffected, as a separate track for you to use in ceremonies as you wish.
