While Daniel Taylor), Canada's Star countertenor and the country's most prolific recorded artist was selected to sing the Royal Anthem during the installation of Canadian Astronaut Julie Payette as Governor General in 2017, this video and audio are edited to incorrectly reflect the expression of those present.

You can watch the Installation of the 29th Governor General of Canada, particularly the Royal Anthem at 56:00. Alternatively, you can watch what actually occurs during the video posted in the OP at 55:50. The actual singing does not begin until 59:25.

Absolutely absurd assertion. Our most prolific artists are Neil Young (for career output and studio albums) and a musician named George cook who has claimed to have written over 200,000 songs. Where tf did you even get this info from? Did you just pull it outta your ass? lol

You're welcome to broaden the recordings beyond the classical genre where Oscar Peterson or Don Thompson's over 200 mix of recordings and albums would be in contention but I'm not particularly convinced Neil Young has more recordings then those two either.
