Chorus Notes on the Histories The National Anthems of of the Allies THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER The words of the Star-Spangled Banner were written by Francis Scott Key, son of John Ross Key, an officer 1, 1779, and died Jan. 11, 1843. The words were written Sept. 14, 1814, under the following circumstances: After burning Washington, the British advanced towards Baltimore, and were met by a similar number of Americans, most of whom were captured and taken to the large fleet then preparing to attack Fort McHenry. Among the prisoners taken at Bladensburg, was a Doctor Beanes, an intimate friend of Mr. Key. Hoping to intercede for the Doctor's release, Mr. Key, with a flag of truce, started in a sail-boat for the Admiral's (Cockburn) vessel. Here he was detained in his boat, moored from the stern of the flag-ship, during the Revolutionary army. in the terrible bombardment He was born August of twenty-five hours, and at last, seeing the "Star-Spangled Banner" fashion was, he snatched an old letter from his pocket, and laying spirited song week in the which he entitled "The Defense of Fort McHenry." still waving, then, as his on a barrel-head, gave vent to his delight in the "The Star-Spangled Banner" was printed within a it Baltimore Patriot, under the title of "The Defense of Fort McHenry," and found its way immediately camps of our army. Ferdinand Durang, who belonged to a dramatic company, and had played in a Baltimore theatre with John Howard Payne, read the poem effectively to the soldiers encamped in that city, who were expecting another attack. They begged him to set the words to music, and he hunted up the old air of "Adams and Liberty," set the words to it, and sang it to the soldiers, who caught it up amid tremendous applause.— Johnson, "Our Familiar Songs"; Anderson's History; Nasom'3 Monogram; el al. into the GOD SAVE THE KING The authorship of this soul-stirring song has long been disputed; but the weight of authority would appear to show that Henry Carey wrote both the words and the air, and himself sang them at a dinner given in 1740 to cele- brate the taking of Portobello by Admiral Vernon on Nov. 20, 1739. The earliest known printed copy was published in the "Harmonia Anglicana" (1742 or '43); the tune, while substantially similar to that now in vogue, differs from the latter in several bars, notably in the special stress laid on the word "save." In 1745, during the Scottish Rebellion, became widely known by being sung in the theatres as "a loyal song or anthem," its first public presentation at Drury Lane on Sept. 28.— Dr. John Bull and, more recently, a certain Scottish musician named James Oswald, have been brought forward by various writers to dispute Carey's claim. it occurring LA MARSEILLAISE The exhilarating strains of the French National Anthem, which just now are heard on every hand, were the Rouget de 1'Isle, a young officer who was stationed at Strassburg. Dining one night in the Spring of 1792 with the Mayor, the latter requested his guest, who at one time had been a teacher of music, to compose inspiration of a song who were about for the Volunteers in the "Grande Rue," and there stirring melodies the to leave. in a fit After a frugal repast of garrison bread and ham he returned to his lodgings of enthusiasm, world has ever known! It wrote in one night the words and music of one of the most was sung at a Civic Dinner at Marseilles and met with such instant success that copies were at once printed and distributed to the Volunteers, who sang it as they entered Paris, marching to the storming of the Tuilleries. In honor of them the delighted Parisians gave it the name it now bears, and almost immediately the rousing strains of "La Marseillaise" were heard in every corner of France. The authorship finally established in of both words and music have been disputed, but Rouget de ITsle's claims were fully and a pamphlet which appeared in 1865, written by his nephew. LA BRABANCONNE Quite unlike the other European National Anthems is the one associated with Belgium, although this also sprang up in the very breath of battle. The words were written during the revolution of 1830, when the country obtained her freedom, and the author, Louis Dechez, surnamed Jenneval, was killed in action near Antwerp. The music was composed by Francois van Campenhout, who was born at Brussels in 1779 and who began his musical career in He the orchestra at the theatre in that city. developed a fine tenor voice, and for thirty years he was to be found singing in the principal towns of Holland, Belgium and France; during this time he also devoted himself to composition, and brought out several operas and many smaller works, but Campenhout is known. He it is m chiefly the composer of "La Brabanconne" that died at Brussels in 1848. HYMN RUSSIAN NATIONAL commanded General Alexis who had accompanied him on his travels, to write something to equal or even surpass "God save the King." The General, who was a good musician and recognized as a fine violinist in several of the great cities of Europe, and who had composed operas and much church music, set to work on words written by Joukovsky, and so in 1883 the stately anthem was given to the world. The Tsar was so delighted with the composition, that he gave orders that it was to be immediately adopted by the whole Army, and to be performed at all important concerts, and even included in presentations on the stage. He presented Lwoff with a magnificent gold snuff-box set with diamonds, and commanded that the words "God save the Tsar" should be introduced into the armorial bearings of the 'omposer's family. The General became Director of the Royal Court Chapel, and filled many posts of honor. He was as a It Lwoff, a member result of hearing the English National Anthem that Tsar Nicholas of the suite < died in 1870. JAPANESE NATIONAL HYMN Very little information can be obtained regarding the history of the National appears that at the commencement compiled under the title of known, neither cim the composer apparently about of the music be identified, although this was written at a The Serbian and set to J.

ITALIAN NATIONAL As but of the Japanese, years ago. fifty SERBIAN NATIONAL 1807, Anthem Emperor Daigo commanded a collection of poems the "Kokinshu." and the words of "Kimigayo" were included; hut who wrote them of the 10th century, the lack of political unity for many HYMN centuries probably accounts for the fact that Italy had no national hymn. Spain, the people contented themselves with a Royal March, Marcia Realc, a rather trivial composition written 1834 by Gabetti. The people hymn created a fur themselves during the stormy period around 1858.
