Description

What's so special about God Save The Queen?In this new, compelling book from author Jasmine Petersen, find out more about God Save The Queen ..."God Save the Queen" is an anthem used in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies. The words and title are adapted to the gender of the current monarch, e.g. replacing "King" with "Queen", "he" with "she", and so forth when a king reigns. It is the de facto British national anthem and of some British territories; it is one of two national anthems for New Zealand and those of Britain's territories that have their own additional local anthem; and the royal anthem of Australia, Canada, Barbados, Jamaica, and Tuvalu. In countries not previously part of the British Empire, the tune of "God Save the Queen" has also been used as the basis for different patriotic songs, though still generally connected with royal ceremony.Thomas Augustine Arne is the composer of the song. Beyond its first verse, which is consistent, it has many historic and extant versions: Since its first publication, different verses have been added and taken away and, even today, different publications include various selections of verses in various orders. In general only one verse is sung; sometimes two verses are sung, and on rare occasions three.The sovereign and his or her consort are saluted with the entire anthem, while other members of the royal family who are entitled to royal salute receive just the first six bars. The first six bars also form all or part of the Vice Regal Salute in some Commonwealth realms outside the UK, as well as the salute given to governors of British overseas territories.So, what seperates this book from the rest?A comprehensive narrative of God Save The Queen, this book gives a full understanding of the subject.A brief guide of subject areas covered in "1744 Songs - God Save The Queen" include -- God Save the Queen- Canadian royal symbols- Rise, O Voices of RhodesiaFind out more of this subject, it's intricacies and it's nuances.
