NOTICE: I have chosen both the sequence and the anthems - either OFFICIAL or UNOFFICIAL - according to my personal feelings towards them.
All al of them are expression of a moment in history, and of the way a certain people has lived it. I think every anthem is precious for too many reasons, and some possess such an intensity and beauty to startle us every time we hear them. One of those which impresses me the most is the Netherlands' one: HET WILHEMUS. You can see the complete lyrics - with the English translation - at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Het_Wilhelmus. This is the oldest national anthem in the world, though the words of the Japanese national anthem (not the music) date back to the ninth century. It is also one of the very few anthems that does not focus on the history or military accomplishments of the people it represents. On the contrary, this anthem is in fact a long poem written by Wilhelmus van Nassouwe himself, where he tells the story of his life and makes his vow towards the Dutch people. As a result, the song is remarkably peaceful and the anthem sounds as if it were sung by William himself. Here's the translation of the verses you'll hear in the clip (Stanzas I, VI). HET WILHELMUS William of Nassau Am I, of Dutch blood. Loyal to the fatherland, I will remain until I die. A prince of Orange, I am, free and fearless. The king of Spain I have always honoured. My shield and reliance are You, o God my Lord Is it You on whom I want to rely, never leave me again. Grant that I may remain brave Your servant for always And defeat the tiranny which pieces my heart. _______________________ Playlist updated on july the 24th. Thank you for reading. |
