El National anthem de Canada It is one of the most beautiful in the world. This represents a country divided into two languages that unites them in a single voice. These stanzas symbolize the history, culture, values, family, of a Canadian society that seeks to consolidate itself on the new world stage.
Or canada is the name of the National anthem de Canada which has been proclaimed as such on July 1, 1980. The Music was composed by the famous composer Calixa lavallee, and the French lyrics accompanying the music were written by the judge Sir Adolphe Basile Routhier for the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste. The French version was sung for the first time a hundred years before it was considered the National Anthem.
It was exactly June 24, 1880, the date on which the feast of San Juan Bautista, patron saint of French Canadians. Until before this date the National Anthem had been God Save the Queen, which is currently regarded as the royal anthem of Canada. The song was gaining fame as the years passed, and it has not been modified since that time.
However, the English version went through several versions, until the letter based on a poem written in 1908 by the lawyer Mr. Justice Robert Stanley Weir, and that it was slightly modified in 1927 for the Confederate Diamond Jubilee. In 1968 some changes suggested by the House of Commons and Senate. Since then it has continued to be welcomed by the English-speaking people. After further minor corrections, the first verse of the Hymn written by Weir was proclaimed the English version of Canada's national anthem in 1980.
The Hymns of both languages contain more stanzas but only the first are considered by the Canadian government as the Official Hymn. Due to the coexistence of these two very important languages in Canadian territory, both versions are considered official.
The few years that these Hymns have been official show how young this nation still is, which is growing every year and is on its way to becoming a world economic power.
