Free Printable National Anthems Sheet Music
Many of the anthems were wrote before, during and after many of the great wars we have learned about throughout our history classes in school. However, some haven't been a country's anthem for just a short time compared to many of the others.
Even the musical and vocal composers of some of the anthems have their own history that relates to how they wrote each of the pieces. In some, cases the lyrics weren't wrote until years later. The same also has happened with the music composition of the anthems.
The Netherlands National Anthem is one of the oldest anthems to date. There has been some controversy of who actually wrote this national anthem, but the actual author is unknown. The national anthem didn't become official until 1932.
"The Star Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. John Stafford Smith composed the music score and Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics during the battle at Fort McHenry.
"De/La Brabançonne" is the other name for the National Anthem of Belgium. It was written in 1830. However, the origins of who wrote the actual Belgium anthem hasn't yet been found. In 1921, the fourth stanza of the 1860 lyrics are used in the version used for this countries anthem.
"Oh, Canada" was written in 1880 by Calixa Lavallée. It wasn't until 1980 that "Oh, Canada" became the anthem of Canada.
"God save the Queen" was written in 1740 by an unknown composer. This anthem became the national anthem of Great Britain in 2003.
"Advance Australia Fair" was composed by Amicus in 1879. It was revised in the late nineteenth century and it became the Australian national anthem in 1984.
"Amhrán na bhFiann" was composed by Peadar Kearney and Patrick Heaney in 1907. It became Ireland's national anthem in 1926. It replaced "God Save Ireland" which was the unofficial anthem until that year.
"La Marseillaise" was written in 1792 by Rouget de Lisle. It became the country's national anthem 1879 after being banned by Napoleon 1, Louis XVIII, and Napoleon III in 1795. It was later reinstated in 1830 after the July Revolution.
M.L. de Villiers was the musical composer of the South African national anthem in 1921. Enoch Sontonoga wrote the vocal composition in 1897 with the title "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika".
The National Anthem of Germany
The musical composer was Joseph Haydn and A.H. Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics for the Germany national anthem. "Das Lied der Deutschen" is the German name for their national anthem. The third verse of the anthem became the official anthem in 1952.

Post a CommentThe Republic of Ireland's national anthem was written in 1907 and adopted after the country's bloody civil war in 1926, after the English relinquished control after 800 years of interference and occupation . Amhrán na bhFiann ás Gaeilge or The Soldier's Song is the anthems title, reflecting these troubled times as it was written at the turn of the last century. Today only the chorus of the original song is played, showing normalisation of attitudes between England and Ireland around 1950. Northern Ireland generally plays God Save the Queen officially but this is dependent on background whether Unionist or Nationalist, one being Protestant and pro British and the latter being Catholic and pro Free State "Republic" and the formation of a United Ireland as it was before.
The lyrics of the anthem is of an Irish rebel song, exhorting all Irish people to participate in the struggle to end the hegemony "despot" over "slave" of the English "Sax
