Gibraltar Anthem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
Gibraltar retains as its official anthem God Save the Queen in common with the other British Overseas Territories. However, it also has its own local anthem which was chosen in a competition in 1994. Being relatively recently composed, it is not as emotive a symbol of Gibraltarian nationalism as the Flag of Gibraltar, and is not as popular within Gibraltar as other anthems are within their own countries. Although it has received little criticism in the press, in private, many have criticised it for sounding like a pop song rather than a dignified piece of classical music, and for having been composed by a non-Gibraltarian. Both the lyrics and music were composed by Peter Emberley. It is played every year at the conclusion of the political rally for Gibraltar National Day, 10 September. Lyrics
