National Anthems

A national anthem is a form of patriotic music that reflects on the history and traditions of a nation. The majority of national anthems are marches or hymns. The oldest anthem known is 'Wilhelmus', the Dutch national anthem, which was written between 1568 and 1572. The Japanese anthem, 'Kimi ga Yo' is often wrongly thought to be the oldest because the lyrics are taken from a poem written in 794, but it didn't become an anthem until the mid-1800's.

Marcha Real ([the] Royal March), originally called Marcha Granadera (Grenadiers March). It was adopted in 1770.

Apart of one of the oldest anthems in the world, the Marcha Real is unusual because it does not have official lyrics, only music.*


*This is actually not true, Marcha Real did have lyrics until 1975. With the fall of Franco, the lyrics were stripped from the song because they were considered too "fascist".

Who composed the Ghana national anthem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no "Ghana national anthem in fante". Ghana is a multi-ethnic, multi-tribal country. There are many Ghanaian citizens who don't speak or understand Fante. Fante is just on of the many languages in Ghana., it is not even the most popular Akan language. The official language in Ghana is English. There is a popular song that Akans would like to replace the Ghanaian National Anthem but it is not official. Hence, the question is wrong in and of itself. The only NATIONAL anthem of Ghana is in English, and it is "God bless our Homeland Ghana".

Was Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Paterson going to be the Australian national anthem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Waltzing Matilda" had a chance of becoming Australia's national anthem in the 1970s/1980s. Back in 1973 then Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam wanted a new national anthem instead of "God Save the Queen" and a competition was held. None of the new entries was considered worthy enough, so the existing songs "Advance Australia Fair", "Waltzing Matilda" and "Song of Australia" were proposed. A 1974 national poll found that "Advance Australia Fair" was the most popular choice. In 1977 the Fraser government held a referendum and attached a national plebiscite to choose the National song. "Advance Australia Fair" won with 43%, "Waltzing Matilda" with 28% and "Song of Australia" with 10%, keeping "God Save the Queen" had 19%. Finally in 1984 the Hawke government adopted "Advance Australia Fair" as the national anthem. For "Waltzing Matilda" to become the Australian national anthem would require an extremely wide-spread ground swell of popular support, intense lobbying of federal members and probably another naitonal plebiscite to confirm its choice. Timing would be important, perhaps during next serious fling at becoming a Republic: some will argue for a new national anthem, not to mention a new flag. Fortunately enough people regard the choice of a song about an itinerant stealing a sheep and drowning rather than be taken into custody as somewhat less dignified as the nation's anthem than the present choice.

All for the country, for the glory, for the flag

From the beginning of centuries, our pencil and sword

Our field and mountains are making the men

Our word and work on the way of perfection

All for the country, for the glory for the flag

Young and old at the voice of the country

Lions of forest at the time of violation

Our east is its heart forever Lebanon

Its God protects it all over the time

All for the country, for the glory for the flag

Its sea, its land, are the pearl of the two orients

Its symbol, its charity, fill up the two poles

Its name is its triumph since the time of our grandfathers

Its glory is its cedars, its symbol is for the end of epochs

All for the country, for the glory for the flag
