Anthem of France: La Marseillaise - (Original 1914 recording)

"La Marseillaise" is the national anthem of France. The song was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of war by France against Austria, and was originally titled "Chant de guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin" ("War Song for the Army of the Rhine").

The French National Convention adopted it as the Republic's anthem in 1795. The song acquired its nickname after being sung in Paris by volunteers from Marseille marching to the capital.

The Preussens Gloria at the start caught me off guard

I thought I got trolled at the very beginning of the video

[roomyhaddock]

I liked the historical footage used in the video

Somehow this anthem is more powerful when seen in historical context. Thank you so much 😊

The music and accompanying footage reminds me of Paths of Glory.

Undoubtedly the most stirring national anthem of all. A true revolutionary's march.

High school French teacher: "I've arranged a field trip to France for us. You'll all have a chance to practice what you've learned."
Girls: Yes! Can't wait to go shopping in Paris!"
Boys: "Alons, enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrive' "
