Issued in 1980, this Canadian commemorative pair honors two towering figures in the nation’s musical heritage. The left stamp features Dame Emma Albani (1847–1930), an internationally celebrated soprano who brought Canadian talent to the world’s opera stages. The right stamp depicts Healey Willan (1880–1968), the distinguished organist and composer often called the “Dean of Canadian Composers.” Both designs present finely detailed portraits set against warm orange backgrounds, symbolizing the vibrancy of Canadian music. With their 17¢ denomination, these stamps were part of Canada’s cultural tribute series and remain a highlight for collectors of music-themed philately.
