Product Description
An arrangement of the national anthem of Litchenstein arranged for Brass Quintet. Oben am jungen Rhein ("Up above the young Rhine") has been the national anthem of Liechtenstein since 1920. It shares the same melody as the United Kingdom's national anthem, "God Save the Queen", the only difference being an additional refrain at the end of the song. In 1963, the anthem was shortened, and references to Germany were removed. The original lyrics were written in 1850 by Swiss pastor Jakob Josef Jauch (18021859),[2] at a time when the Principality of Liechtenstein, which is considered the last remnant of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, was a member of the German Confederation. About a decade earlier, French claims to the left bank of the Rhine (Rhine Crisis of 1840) had triggered a series of German "Rhine songs" of which Die Wacht am Rhein is the most famous.
