Added by bernard-dewagtere, 09 Sep 2011 The Deutschlandlied "Song of Germany", also known as "Das Lied der Deutschen" or "The Song of the Germans", has been used wholly or partially as the national anthem of Germany since 1922. The music was written by Joseph Haydn in 1797 as an anthem for the birthday of the Austrian Emperor Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1841, the German linguist and poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics of "Das Lied der Deutschen" to Haydn's melody, lyrics that were considered revolutionary at the time. After German reunification in 1991,only the third verse was adopted as Germany's current National Anthem. The first two are not prohibited, but they are never sung at official occasions. Sing the first verse or use is generally viewed as an expression of political views far to the right or openly neo-Nazi. As for the second part of the first verse, it is invalid because of the current borders of Germany. Sheet central : | 6 Quatuors à Cordes, Op.76 (60 sheet music) | |
