Himno Nacional Argentino 1813
The original Argentine National Anthem was named Patriotic March, later renamed National Patriotic Song, and then Patriotic Song. It has been called Himno Nacional Argentino since it was published with that name in 1847. Its lyrics were written by the Buenos Aires-born politician Vicente López y Planes and the music was composed by the Spanish musician Blas Parera. The work was adopted as the sole official song on May 11, 1813, three years after the May Revolution; May 11 is therefore Anthem Day in Argentina. It’s the fifth oldest national anthem ever.
La Marseillaise – 1795
La Marseillaise is the national anthem of France. The song was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of war by France against Austria, and was originally titled ”War Song for the Rhine Army”. The Marseillaise was a revolutionary song, an anthem to freedom, a patriotic call to mobilize all the citizens and an exhortation to fight against tyranny and foreign invasion. The French National Convention adopted it as the Republic’s anthem in 1795. It acquired its nickname after being sung in Paris by volunteers from Marseille marching to the capital. It’s the fourth oldest national anthem ever.
La Marcha Real – 1770
The Marcha Real is the national anthem of Spain. It is one of only four national anthems in the world to have no official lyrics. One of the oldest in the world, the anthem was first printed in a document dated 1761 and entitled Book of the Ordenance of Newly Played Military Drum and Fife Calls by The Spanish Infantry, by Manuel de Espinosa. There, it is entitled “March of the Grenadiers”. According to the document, Manuel de Espinosa de los Monteros is the composer. It’s the third oldest national anthem ever.
God Save the Queen – 1745
“God Save the Queen” is the national or royal anthem in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies. The first published version of what is almost the present tune appeared in 1744 in Thesaurus Musicus. It’s the second oldest national anthem ever.
Wilhelmus – 1568
Wilhelmus van Nassouwe, usually known just as the Wilhelmus, is the national anthem of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It dates back to at least 1572, making it the oldest known national anthem in the world. Although the Wilhelmus was not recognised as the official national anthem until 1932, it has always been popular with parts of the Dutch population and resurfaced on several occasions in the course of Dutch history before gaining its present status. It was also the anthem of the Netherlands Antilles from 1954 to 1964. It’s the oldest national anthem ever.
