Glenn Gould’s The Solitude Trilogy, Part 03: The Quiet in the land (1977)

“The Solitude Trilogy: Quiet in the Land The third part of the Solitude Trilogy, “Quiet in the Land,“ focuses on the Mennonite community of Red River, Manitoba. This project is more complex in weaving ambient sounds, voices, and specific narrative, departing from the clearer voices of the previous parts of the trilogy. Complexity highlights the more strident clash of cultures. The theme of solitude and isolation emerges as the dilemma of a community facing the challenge of social change around and within it, more interwoven with Canadian life than Newfoundland, and far less individualistic than going north.”
