Re: A doleful sycophant dirge
I think the British anthem should remain as it is all the time we have the royal family. Have a different anthem if that ever changes. It is a bit of a dirge but it's too well-known across the World and too well-founded in tradition to change in my opinion.Re: A doleful sycophant dirge
Re: A doleful sycophant dirge
According to the Royal Family site it was first performed in 1745. Although it's thought the tune was plagiarised and goes back to Elizabethan times. That would explain why it seems a dirge. It has the style of music at that time.Re: A doleful sycophant dirge
