Burke & Bagley #BB160. Published by Burke & Bagley. S0.17075. My father enjoyed singing, particularly when the family went on road trips. One of our favorite songs that he sang was 'The Far North Land. ' Several years ago, my sister recorded our father singing this song for use on the soundtrack of one of her movies. I later transcribed the song from that recording and used it as the foundation for this piece. My aunts told me they recalled my father singing this song when he was a boy growing up in Minnesota, and that they referred to it as 'Fletch's song. ' It was only while working on this piece that I discovered that Duncan, Clear Water and Bear Skin are actual lakes in the border lakes region where Minnesota meets Canada.
