Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The discussions we had after the Stooper Bowl led me to think some on the subject of Anthems de Nacional. For your listening enjoyment here are a few from around the globe. Some you'll know, some you won't. Presented in no particular order, rhyme or reason. From a musical standpoint only, national pride and politics totally aside, you may vote on your favorite HERE!

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 For me it is pretty much a toss up between Canada and Russia. With a one 3rd OT goal to our neighbors to the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Nice...but I am partial to only one! - OURS!! Of course...this 'beer' song is a good un. http://www.einprosit.us/2009%20Alphorn%20Retreat.jpg GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Gatlin's right. Our old, born in blood and fire, hard to sing, patriotic to the core, take no prisoners anthem is still the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Of course the S&S is the best anthem. It would have skewed the scientific poll to a spectacular degree so it was not included. However this is about melody only! Now, imho La Marseillaise is the most versatile. It can be done slowly a la the Olympics or with a faster beat as a march. It is also one of the most famous thanks to Bogey! Take that ya Nazis!

After all this time... you shoulda made full deacon by now... ts Nah, can't. For one, I'm divorced. And for two, I'm married to a woman who was divorced. Funny thing is, since the divorces (mine and my current wife's) and our marriage all took place before we became Orthodox, some jurisdictions look at it as if they never happened and our joining the Orthodox Church sanctified our marriage. The jurisdiction we are in doesn't. Besides, I can't sing a lick, so it would be painful for whatever congregation I was assigned to to have me serve.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 You must admit that, nationalism aside, musically our anthem with it's purloined To Anacreon in Heaven drinking song melody is a difficult thing to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who could forget that stirring rendition, following Bogey's nod of approval. So, what was the anthem of Borbon Espana?

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Remember that scene in Red Dawn when the Russkis were playing their national anthem on the record player and the Wolverines lit em up? I liked that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
