What is the characteristics of national anthems?
please answer in alot of details and examples if you can
Hymns, marches, anthems or fanfares used as official patriotic symbols. The term for these became current in the early 19th century (in most countries it is the equivalent of ‘national hymn’). Such pieces are performed on ceremonial occasions and at some types of theatrical or sporting event. The earliest is the British one, God Save the King/Queen, which came to be used in the1740 s; several other countries adopted national anthems later in the 18th century, including France (La marseillaise) and Austria (Emperor’s Hymn, by Haydn). Many more were adopted during the 19th century, but only since the mid-20th century have Eastern countries followed. The texts of national anthems usually embody patriotic fervour; the music is sometimes hymn-like, often martial, occasionally operatic and sometimes based on local folk-music traditions.
British History:
national anthem
First published in recognizable form in 1744 (ambiguously as ‘God save our Lord the King’) but performed at Drury Lane, September 1745, specifically naming King George in response to the Jacobite threat, it was essentially a compilation of loyal phrases set to a recast Tudor galliard. Rapidly gaining widespread popularity, it was known as the national anthem by 1819 despite its anti-Scots references (still balefully resented by some north of the border).
A national anthem (also national hymn, song etc.) is a generally patriotic musical composition that evokes and eulogizes the history, traditions and struggles of its people, recognized either by a nation’s government as the official national song, or by convention through use by the people.
