Often referred to as "The Black National Anthem," Lift Every Voice and Sing was a hymn written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. His brother, John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954), composed the music for the lyrics. A choir of 500 schoolchildren at the segregated Stanton School, where James Weldon Johnson was principal, first performed the song in public in Jacksonville, Florida to celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

At the turn of the 20th century, Johnson's lyrics eloquently captured the solemn yet hopeful appeal for the liberty of Black Americans. Set against the religious invocation of God and the promise of freedom, the song was later adopted by NAACP and prominently used as a rallying cry during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

Francis Scott Key was a gifted amateur poet. Inspired by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry the morning after the bombardment, he scribbled the initial verse of his song on the back of a letter. Back in Baltimore, he completed the four verses (PDF) and copied them onto a sheet of paper, probably making more than one copy. A local printer issued the new song as a broadside. Shortly afterward, two Baltimore newspapers published it, and by mid-October it had appeared in at least seventeen other papers in cities up and down the East Coast.

There is no copyright on the melody and the words of the national anthem, the Act having declared them to be in the public domain. They may be used without having to obtain permission from the government. However, it is possible to copyright the arrangements made to the melody.

While the words of the national anthem may be translated in languages other than English or French, it should be noted that only the English and French lyrics are set in the Act. Other translated versions do not have an official status.

As an additional question in the 1977 referendum, the voters were polled on which song they would prefer to be played as the de facto national anthem (in place of "God Save the Queen"). Voting on this question was not compulsory. This was the third plebiscite to be held in Australia, following two regarding military service in 1916 and 1917.[1] The winner, "Advance Australia Fair", was later formally declared the Australian anthem in 1984.

Prior to 1974, "God Save the Queen" was Australia's national anthem. In 1974, the Whitlam government performed a nationwide opinion survey, conducted through the Australian Bureau of Statistics, to determine the song to be sung on occasions of national significance. "Advance Australia Fair" was chosen and was enshrined as the national song, to be used on all occasions excepting those of a specifically regal nature.

In January 1976, the Fraser government reinstated "God Save the Queen" for royal, vice-regal, defence and loyal toast occasions, and made plans to conduct a national poll to find a song for use on ceremonial occasions when it was desired to mark a separate Australian identity.

Voters were presented with the following choice: Against the background that 'GOD SAVE THE QUEEN' is the NATIONAL ANTHEM to be played on Regal and Vice Regal occasions, electors may indicate their preferences as to which of the tunes of the songs listed below they would prefer to be played on other occasions.[2]

The melody of the Wilhelmus originated during the siege of the French city of Chartres in 1568. The melody as sung today comes from the collection Nederlandtsche Gedenck-clanck (1626) by Adriaen Valerius. The Wilhelmus has 15 verses, the first letters of which together spell the name WILLEM VAN NASSOV (William of Nassau). In the eighteenth century it became the song of the Orangists (the supporters of the House of Orange), but was not yet the official anthem.

"Perry provides exegesis and exhortation in explaining how a song captured a culture, and in turn became a cultural captive held fast by emotional ties of a diverse people; hers is a work for adolescents and academics, indeed for any readers interested in at least glimpsing a sense of a pulsing, resilient black consciousness. Highly recommended."--Library Journal, starred review

While the bombardment continued, Key took a letter from his pocket and on the back of it began to write the words of a song. He finished all the verses on the way to shore, but some of the lines were only in his memory.

The Song and Dance Festival phenomenon

 The Song and Dance Festival is the uppermost cultural masterpiece of our people that has stood the test of time. It has become a nationally and internationally significant event which calls together and unites Latvians worldwide, bringing together generations and ethnicities.

The Wind Band Concert, titled Laiks iet pri (Time Flows Over), which will take place this year in Andrejosta, will delight listeners not just with the passionate playing, but also the open-air party for all attendees. Meanwhile, the Kokle Concert, titled Laika upe (The River of Time) will take place in the psala International Exhibition Centre.

The 150th anniversary of the Song Festival tradition brings back the opportunity for the massed choir to perform a separate a cappella concert at the Silver Grove stage, Meaparks. The foundational concept of this concert, titled Trums. Dziesmas ce (The Field. The Road of Song), is folk song arrangements and original pieces inspired by folk songs.

Continuation

 Continuation is a joy and an obligation, as the nation searches for its path in a complicated world. Having maintained the Song and Dance Festival together, we transition to the cycle of awaiting the next Festival, recharged and inspired by the wonders of the Festival. When we return home, we are given a parting gift: good advice on how to bring song and dance into our lives. We congratulate those who will continue what we are doing in 5 or 100 years!

Experts on extremism and propaganda say the song is another example of how Trump and his most ardent allies are trying to gloss over an avalanche of evidence proving the Capitol riot was anything but an act of patriotic resistance.

A spokeswoman for Patel and Henry declined to respond to questions about the song or the irony in using it in such a way. The Star-Spangled Banner was penned by Francis Scott Key after the bombardment of Ft. McHenry by the British in the War of 1812. Just weeks earlier, redcoats had burned the U.S. Capitol to the ground; that was the last time the building had been the scene of such a violent attack.

Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward, 

With the one will to save our Fatherland 

Our hurried steps are sounding on the long and arduous road 

Our flag, red with the blood of victory, bears the spirit of our country 

The distant rumbling of the guns mingles with our marching song. 

The path to glory passes over the bodies of our foes. 

Overcoming all hardships, together we build our resistance bases. 

Ceaselessly for the people's cause we struggle, 

Hastening to the battle field! 

Forward! All together advancing! 

Our Vietnam is strong eternal.


Late composer Van Cao was born in Vu Ban (Nam Dinh province) on November 11, 1923 and died on July 10, 1995. He made great contributions to the fields of music, poetry and painting and was presented the Ho Chi Minh Prize in 1996 by the State of Vietnam. He was the composer of Tien Quan Ca (March to the Fronts) which was later selected as the Vietnamese national anthem.

In the middle of 1944, Van Cao joined the operations at the Viet Minh front (the League for the Independence of Vietnam) in Haiphong. By the end of the year, he worked for Doc Lap (Independence) newspaper - the organ of the Democratic Party that lay the Viet Minh front. During this time, he began to develop the idea of the song.

The composer's autograph that remains in Van Cao's selected song book, published in 1993 by the Music Publishing House, says that "In November 1944, I wrote Tien Quan Ca myself on a stone printing slab on the first literature and art page of Doc Lap newspaper that remains the handwriting of a mere apprentice.

A month later, when the newspaper was issued, I returned from a printing office. Crossing a small street (now Mai Hac De street), I suddenly heard the sound of a mandolin from a balcony. There was someone practising the Tien Quan Ca. I stopped and felt moved. The emotion that came to me was more significant than all of my songs performed at theatres earlier." 17dc91bb1f
