Product Description
An arrangement of the Chilean National Anthem ''Canción Naciona'' for Brass Quintet.
After the melody of Chiles original anthem was replaced in 1828, the original text, from 1819, was also in need of replacement to remove the anti-Spanish sentiments from the lyrics. In 1847, the young poet Eusebio Lillo wrote a new text to Carnicers melody, however he kept the chorus from the original anthem. Today, the chorus and fifth verse of Lillos poem make up the official national anthem of Chile.
Following the coup detat by Augusto Pinochet in 1973, the military junta dictated that two verses would be used along with the chorus: the fifth verse was retained, and the third verse, which extolled Chiles army, was then added as the second official verse. It was a common act of protest by detractors to remain silent during the second verse. When democracy was restored in 1990, the government removed the military verse and restored the anthem as it was before the coup; today, supporters of the past military government still sing the third verse.
