Land der Berge, Land am Strome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Land der Berge, Land am Strome (Land of the mountains, land on the river) is the national anthem of Austria. Nineteen days before his death on December 5th, 1791 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his last complete work, the "Freimaurerkantate", KV 623. In parts of the edition of this cantata there appeared the "Chain Song" by Johann Holzer. To this melody the Austrian National Anthem is sung. The lyrics were written by the Austrian writer Paula von Preradovic. On October 22, 1946 it was declared Austria's official national anthem. In 2005, Women's Minister Maria Rauch-Kallat stated her objection to the words 'sons', 'fraternal' and 'Fatherland' in the lyrics, and has proposed changes. [1], however this was quickly dismissed as a newsitem in times of little other news.
Lyrics and translation
ParodyIt is said that, the same evening after Paula von Preradovic learned that her lyrics were chosen for the national anthem, her sons, Otto and Fritz Molden, composed a satirical version of the anthem.
