An anthem is a musical composition of celebration , usually used as a symbol for a distinct group, particularly the national anthems of countries . Originally, and in music theory and religious contexts, it also refers more particularly to short sacred choral work (still frequently seen in Sacred Harp and other types of shape note singing) and still more particularly to a specific form of liturgical music . In this sense, its use began c. 1550 in English-speaking churches; it uses English language words, in contrast to the originally Roman Catholic ' motet ' which sets a Latin text.
146-519: Salve Marinera is the official anthem of the Spanish Navy . Its meaning can be loosely translated as "Salutation of the seas" or "Praise song of the seas". The Salve Marinera lyrics and music originated in the zarzuela "El Molinero de Subiza", by Cristóbal Oudrid in 1870. The lyrics of this hymn, written by Mariano Méndez Vigo, are exalting the Virgin Mary as Stella Maris (Our Lady, Star of
292-478: A liturgy in English was largely done by Thomas Cranmer , Archbishop of Canterbury , starting cautiously in the reign of Henry VIII (1509–1547) and then more radically under his son Edward VI (1547–1553). In his early days, Cranmer was a conservative humanist and an admirer of Erasmus . After 1531, Cranmer's contacts with reformers from continental Europe helped change his outlook. The Exhortation and Litany ,
438-724: A Crown dependency, uses "God Save the King" as a Royal anthem, but also has its own local anthem, "O Land of Our Birth" (Manx: " O Halloo Nyn Ghooie "). Although the United States has " The Star-Spangled Banner " as its official national anthem, all except two of its constituent states and territories also have their own regional anthem (referred to by most US states as a " state song "), along with Washington, DC . The two exceptions are New Jersey , which has never had an official state song, and Maryland , which rescinded " Maryland, My Maryland " in 2021 due to its racist language and has yet to adopt
584-682: A Nossa Pátria Bem Amada " is the national anthem of Guinea-Bissau and was also the national anthem of Cape Verde until 1996. " Oben am jungen Rhein ", the national anthem of Liechtenstein , is set to the tune of "God Save the King/Queen". Other anthems that have used the same melody include " Heil dir im Siegerkranz " (Germany), " Kongesangen " (Norway), " My Country, 'Tis of Thee " (United States), " Rufst du, mein Vaterland " (Switzerland), " E Ola Ke Alii Ke Akua " (Hawaiʻi), and " The Prayer of Russians ". The Estonian anthem " Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm "
730-615: A conservative style. Major composers have usually written anthems in response to commissions and for special occasions: for instance Edward Elgar 's 1912 "Great is the Lord" and 1914 "Give unto the Lord" (both with orchestral accompaniment); Benjamin Britten 's 1943 " Rejoice in the Lamb " (a modern example of a multi-movement anthem, today heard mainly as a concert piece); and, on a much smaller scale, Ralph Vaughan Williams 's 1952 "O Taste and See" written for
876-767: A dominion and colony of the UK, the " Ode to Newfoundland ". It was the only Canadian province with its own anthem until 2010, when Prince Edward Island adopted the 1908 song " The Island Hymn " as its provincial anthem. Czechoslovakia had a national anthem composed of two parts, the Czech anthem followed by one verse of the Slovak one . After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia , the Czech Republic adopted its own regional anthem as its national one, whereas Slovakia did so with slightly changed lyrics and an additional stanza. In Germany , many of
1022-504: A normal song (although certain sections may be repeated when marked). An example of an anthem with multiple meter shifts, fuguing, and repeated sections is "Claremont", or "Vital Spark of Heav'nly Flame". Another well known example is William Billing 's "Easter Anthem", also known as "The Lord Is Risen Indeed!" after the opening lines. This anthem is still one of the more popular songs in the Sacred Harp tune book. The anthem developed as
1168-625: A replacement for the Catholic "votive antiphon" commonly sung as an appendix to the main office to the Blessed Virgin Mary or other saints . During the Elizabethan period , notable anthems were composed by Thomas Tallis , William Byrd , Tye, and Farrant but they were not mentioned in the Book of Common Prayer until 1662 when the famous rubric "In quires and places where they sing here followeth
1314-495: A replacement. The state songs are selected by each state legislature , and/or state governor, as a symbol (or emblem) of that particular US state. Some US states have more than one official state song, and may refer to some of their official songs by other names; for example, Arkansas officially has two state songs, plus a state anthem, and a state historical song. Tennessee has the most state songs, with 12 official state songs and an official bicentennial rap . Arizona has
1460-577: A report back from the bishops and made final modifications, he announced his decisions to the Puritans and bishops. The business of making the changes was then entrusted to a small committee of bishops and the Privy Council and, apart from tidying up details, this committee introduced into Morning and Evening Prayer a prayer for the royal family; added several thanksgivings to the Occasional Prayers at
1606-572: A separate flag anthem for such purposes. Not all countries have flag anthems. Some used them in the past but no longer do so, such as Iran, China, and South Africa. Flag anthems can be officially codified in law, or unofficially recognized by custom and convention. In some countries, the flag anthem may be just another song, and in others, it may be an official symbol of the state akin to a second national anthem, such as in Taiwan. Many pop songs are used as sports anthems , notably including Queen 's " We Are

Two individuals, Stephen Foster , and John Denver , have written or co-written two state songs. Foster's two state songs, " Old Folks at Home " (better known as "Swanee Ribber" or "Suwannee River"), adopted by Florida, and " My Old Kentucky Home " are among
1898-536: Is "credited [with] the overall job of editorship and the overarching structure of the book," though he borrowed and adapted material from other sources. The prayer book had provisions for the daily offices (Morning and Evening Prayer), scripture readings for Sundays and holy days, and services for Communion , public baptism , confirmation , matrimony , visitation of the sick , burial, purification of women upon childbirth, and Ash Wednesday . An ordinal for ordination services of bishops , priests , and deacons
2044-469: Is based on Mazurek Dąbrowskiego , which has also been the anthem of Poland since 1926, but the Yugoslav variation is much slower and more accentuated. Between 1991 and 1994 " Deșteaptă-te, române! " was the national anthem of both Romania (which adopted it in 1990) and Moldova , but in the case of the latter it was replaced by the current Moldovan national anthem, " Limba noastră ". Between 1975 and 1977,
2190-510: Is derived from the Greek ἀντίφωνα ( antíphōna ) via Old English antefn . Both words originally referred to antiphons , a call-and-response style of the singing. The adjectival form is "anthemic". Anthems were originally a form of liturgical music . In the Church of England , the rubric appoints them to follow the third collect at morning and evening prayer. Several anthems are included in
2336-503: Is generally a patriotic musical composition that extols and praises a flag, typically one of a country, in which case it is sometimes called a national flag anthem. It is often either sung or performed during or immediately before the raising or lowering of a flag during a ceremony. Most countries use their respective national anthems or some other patriotic song for this purpose. However, some countries, particularly in South America, use
2482-409: Is no holiness in the bread and wine, any leftovers are to be taken home by the curate for ordinary consumption. This prevented eucharistic adoration of the reserved sacrament above the high altar. The burial service was removed from the church. It was to now take place at the graveside. In 1549, there had been provision for a Requiem (not so called) and prayers of commendation and committal,
2628-479: Is no longer included in the services for baptism, ordination and visitation of the sick . These ceremonies are altered to emphasise the importance of faith, rather than trusting in rituals or objects. Many of the traditional elements of the communion service were removed in the 1552 version. The name of the service was changed to "The Order for the Administration of the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion", removing
2774-508: Is set to a melody composed in 1848 by Fredrik (Friedrich) Pacius which is also that of the national anthem of Finland : " Maamme " (" Vårt Land " in Swedish). It is also considered to be the ethnic anthem for the Livonian people with lyrics " Min izāmō, min sindimō " ("My Fatherland, my native land"). " Hey, Slavs " is dedicated to Slavic peoples . Its first lyrics were written in 1834 under
2920-536: Is the longest national anthem in the world by length of text. In 1865, the first three stanzas and later the first two officially became the national anthem of Greece and later also that of the Republic of Cyprus . " Forged from the Love of Liberty " was composed as the national anthem for the short-lived West Indies Federation (1958–1962) and was adopted by Trinidad and Tobago when it became independent in 1962. " Esta É
3066-506: The 1559 prayer book , which effectively reintroduced the 1552 book with modifications to make it acceptable to more traditionally minded worshippers and clergy. In 1604, James I ordered some further changes, the most significant being the addition to the Catechism of a section on the Sacraments ; this resulted in the 1604 Book of Common Prayer . Following the tumultuous events surrounding

#17328453956403212-550: The Anglican Communion and by other Christian churches historically related to Anglicanism. The first prayer book , published in 1549 in the reign of King Edward VI of England , was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome . The 1549 work was the first prayer book to include the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English. It contains Morning Prayer , Evening Prayer ,
3358-532: The Basque Country , and " Os Pinos " of Galicia , all written and sung in the local languages. The United Kingdom's national anthem is " God Save the King " but its constituent countries and Crown Dependencies also have their own equivalent songs which have varying degrees of official recognition. England , Scotland , Wales , and Northern Ireland each have anthems which are played at occasions such as sports matches and official events. The Isle of Man ,
3504-556: The Book in England stalled. On the death of Charles II, his brother James, a Roman Catholic, became James II . James wished to achieve toleration for those of his own Roman Catholic faith, whose practices were still banned. This, however, drew the Presbyterians closer to the Church of England in their common desire to resist 'popery'; talk of reconciliation and liturgical compromise was thus in
3650-422: The Book of Common Prayer with local variations are used in churches within and exterior to the Anglican Communion in over 50 countries and over 150 different languages. In many of these churches, the 1662 prayer book remains authoritative even if other books or patterns have replaced it in regular worship. Traditional English-language Lutheran , Methodist , and Presbyterian prayer books have borrowed from
3796-524: The Book of Common Prayer, and the marriage and burial rites have found their way into those of other denominations and into the English language. Like the King James Version of the Bible and the works of Shakespeare , many words and phrases from the Book of Common Prayer have entered common parlance. The full name of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer is The Book of Common Prayer and Administration of
3942-530: The Book of Common Prayer, though the latter includes in the Order Two form of the Holy Communion a very slight revision of the prayer book service, largely along the lines proposed for the 1928 Prayer Book. Order One follows the pattern of the modern Liturgical Movement . With British colonial expansion from the 17th century onwards, Anglicanism spread across the globe. The new Anglican churches used and revised
4088-691: The British coronation service . The words are selected from Holy Scripture or in some cases from the Liturgy and the music is generally more elaborate and varied than that of psalm or hymn tunes . Being written for a trained choir rather than the congregation, the Anglican anthem is analogous to the motet of the Catholic and Lutheran Churches but represents an essentially English musical form . Anthems may be described as " verse ", "full", or "full with verse", depending on whether they are intended for soloists ,
4234-533: The Directory of Public Worship , which was more a set of instructions than a prayer book. How widely the Directory was used is not certain; there is some evidence of its having been purchased, in churchwardens' accounts, but not widely. The Prayer Book certainly was used clandestinely in some places, not least because the Directory made no provision at all for burial services. Following the execution of Charles I in 1649 and
4380-592: The English Civil War , when the Prayer Book was again abolished, another revision was published as the 1662 prayer book . That edition remains the official prayer book of the Church of England , although throughout the later 20th century, alternative forms that were technically supplements largely displaced the Book of Common Prayer for the main Sunday worship of most English parish churches. Various permutations of

The 1637 prayer book was not, however,

4672-510: The Great Bible of 1538. It was this edition which was to be the official Book of Common Prayer during the growth of the British Empire and, as a result, has been a great influence on the prayer books of Anglican churches worldwide, liturgies of other denominations in English, and of the English people and language as a whole. Between 1662 and the 19th century, further attempts to revise
4818-561: The Litany , Holy Communion , and occasional services in full: the orders for Baptism , Confirmation , Marriage , " prayers to be said with the sick ", and a funeral service. It also sets out in full the " propers " (the parts of the service that vary weekly or daily throughout the Church's Year): the introits , collects , and epistle and gospel readings for the Sunday service of Holy Communion. Old Testament and New Testament readings for daily prayer are specified in tabular format, as are
4964-588: The Länder (states) have their own anthems, some of which predate the unification of Germany in 1871. A prominent example is the Hymn of Bavaria , which also has the status of an official anthem (and thus enjoys legal protection). There are also several unofficial regional anthems, like the " Badnerlied " and the " Niedersachsenlied ". Some of the states and union territories of India have officially adopted their own state anthem for use during state government functions. All
5110-587: The Middle East , Oceania , Africa , and the Caribbean use a simpler fanfare . Some countries that are devolved into multiple constituent states have their own official musical compositions for them (such as with the United Kingdom, Russian Federation, and the former Soviet Union); their constituencies' songs are sometimes referred to as national anthems even though they are not sovereign states . A flag anthem
5256-600: The Montenegrin and Serbian regions of Serbia and Montenegro adopted their own regional anthems. When the two regions both became independent sovereign states in mid-2006, their regional anthems became their national anthems. Fourteen of the fifteen constituent states of the Soviet Union had their own official song which was used at events connected to that region, and also written and sung in that region's own language. The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic used
5402-510: The Psalms and canticles , mostly biblical, to be said or sung between the readings. The 1549 book was soon succeeded by a 1552 revision that was more Reformed but from the same editorial hand, that of Thomas Cranmer , Archbishop of Canterbury . It was used only for a few months, as after Edward VI's death in 1553, his half-sister Mary I restored Roman Catholic worship. Mary died in 1558 and, in 1559, Elizabeth I 's first Parliament authorised
5548-538: The Public Worship Regulation Act 1874 . The Act had no effect on illegal practices: five clergy were imprisoned for contempt of court and after the trial of the much loved Bishop Edward King of Lincoln, it became clear that some revision of the liturgy had to be embarked upon. One branch of the Ritualism movement argued that both "Romanisers" and their Evangelical opponents, by imitating, respectively,

Many of the others are much less well-known, especially outside the state. New Jersey has no official state song, while Virginia 's previous state song, " Carry Me Back to Old Virginny ", adopted in 1940, was later rescinded in 1997 due to its racist language by
5840-707: The Salve Marinera takes place after a procession carrying the Virgin's image to the church. Despite its popularity in Catalonia and Galicia , the Salve Marinera has only a Castilian Spanish version; it does not exist in any of the other languages of Spain. The present music accompanying the hymn was adapted in 1942 by Jesús Montalbán Vizcón, then director of the Spanish Navy's training facilities' musical band (Banda de Música de la Escuela Naval) .

6132-469: The South African national anthem has been a hybrid song combining new English lyrics with extracts of "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" and the former state anthem " Die Stem van Suid-Afrika ". For North and South Korea, the folk song Arirang is considered a shared anthem for both countries. For example, it was played when the two Koreas marched together during the 2018 Winter Olympics .

6278-601: The Soviet Union . Accordingly, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, and Ukraine have banned those anthems amongst other things deemed to be symbols of fascism, socialism, communism, and the Soviet Union and its republics. In Poland , dissemination of items which are “media of fascist, communist, or other totalitarian symbolism” was criminalized in 1997. However, in 2011 the Constitutional Tribunal found this sanction to be unconstitutional. In contrast to this treatment of

In Yugoslavia , each of the country's constituent states (except for Bosnia and Herzegovina ) had the right to have its own anthem, but only the Croatian one actually did so initially, later joined by
6570-431: The full choir , or both. Another way of describing an anthem is that it is a piece of music written specifically to fit a certain accompanying text, and it is often difficult to make any other text fit that same melodic arrangement. It also often changes melody and/or meter, frequently multiple times within a single song, and is sung straight through from start to finish, without repeating the melody for following verses like
6716-410: The rochet for bishops and the surplice for parish clergy, it permitted "such ornaments … as were in use … in the second year of King Edward VI." This allowed substantial leeway for more traditionalist clergy to retain the vestments which they felt were appropriate to liturgical celebration, namely Mass vestments such as albs , chasubles , dalmatics , copes , stoles , maniples, etc. (at least until
6862-578: The symbolism , promotion of fascist, communist and other totalitarian ideology remains illegal. Those laws do not apply to the anthems of Russia , Belarus , Uzbekistan , Kazakhstan , and Tajikistan which used the melody with different lyrics. In Spain , the situation is similar to that in Austria and Germany. Unlike the national anthem, most of the anthems of the autonomous communities have words. All are official. Three prominent examples are " Els Segadors " of Catalonia , " Eusko Abendaren Ereserkia " of

Instead of communion wafers , the prayer book instructs that ordinary bread is to be used "to take away the superstition which any person hath, or might have". To further emphasise there
7154-439: The 1552 prayer book "broke decisively with the past". The services for baptism, confirmation, communion and burial are rewritten, and ceremonies hated by Protestants were removed. Unlike the 1549 version, the 1552 prayer book removed many traditional sacramentals and observances that reflected belief in the blessing and exorcism of people and objects. In the baptism service, infants no longer receive minor exorcism . Anointing

The 1559 prayer book was also translated into other languages within the English sphere of influence.

Intended for use in the worship of the collegiate chapels of Oxford, Cambridge, Eton , and Winchester , it

With two exceptions, some words and phrases which had become archaic were modernised; secondly, the readings for the epistle and gospel at Holy Communion, which had been set out in full since 1549, were now set to the text of the 1611 Authorized King James Version of the Bible. The Psalter , which had not been printed in the 1549, 1552 or 1559 books—was in 1662 provided in Miles Coverdale 's translation from

Later in the century, Charles Villiers Stanford used symphonic techniques to produce a more concise and unified structure. Many anthems have been written since then, generally by specialists in organ music rather than composers , and often in

During the 17th century, notable anthems were composed by Orlando Gibbons , Henry Purcell , and John Blow , with the verse anthem becoming the dominant musical form of the Restoration . In the 18th century, famed anthems were composed by Croft, Boyce, James Kent , James Nares , Benjamin Cooke , and Samuel Arnold . In

Although anthems are used to distinguish states and territories, there are instances of shared anthems.

Zimbabwe and Namibia have since adopted new national anthems. Since 1997,

These adherents of ritualism, among whom were Percy Dearmer and others, claimed that
8468-426: The Communion was a sacrifice to God). The Prayer of Consecration was followed by Communion, the Lord's Prayer , and a Prayer of Thanksgiving or an optional Prayer of Oblation whose first line included a petition that God would "...accepte this our Sacrifice of prayse and thankes geuing...". The latter prayer was removed (a longer version followed the Words of the Institution in the 1549 Rite) "to avoid any suggestion of

The intent behind these suggested changes
8760-447: The Mass's mediaeval structure— stone altars remained, the clergy wore traditional vestments , much of the service was sung, and the priest was instructed to put the communion wafer into communicants' mouths instead of in their hands. Nevertheless, the first BCP was a "radical" departure from traditional worship in that it "eliminated almost everything that had till then been central to lay Eucharistic piety". A priority for Protestants

Following a royal commission report in 1906, work began on a new prayer book.

The Savoy Conference ended in disagreement late in July 1661, but the initiative in prayer book revision had already passed to the Convocations and from there to Parliament. The Convocations made some 600 changes, mostly of details, which were "far from partisan or extreme". However, Edwards states that more of

The rubric also stated that the Communion service should be conducted in the 'accustomed place,' namely a Table against the wall with the priest facing it. The rubric was placed at the section regarding Morning and Evening Prayer in this Prayer Book and in the 1604 and 1662 Books. It was to be the basis of claims in

The removal of the Black Rubric complements the double set of Words of Administration at the time of communion and permits an action — kneeling to receive — which people were used to doing.

10658-620: The Soviet Union's national anthem as its regional anthem (" The Internationale " from 1917 to 1944 and the " National Anthem of the Soviet Union " from 1944 to 1990) until 1990, the last of the Soviet constituent states to do so. After the Soviet Union disbanded in the early 1990s, some of its former constituent states, now sovereign nations in their own right, retained the melodies of their old Soviet-era regional anthems until replacing them or, in some cases, still use them today. Unlike most national anthems, few of which were composed by renowned composers,
10804-492: The Soviet Union's various regional anthems were composed by some of the best Soviet composers, including world-renowned Gustav Ernesaks (Estonia), Aram Khachaturian (Armenia), Otar Taktakishvili (Georgia), and Uzeyir Hajibeyov (Azerbaijan). The lyrics present great similarities, all having mentions to Vladimir Lenin (and most, in their initial versions, to Joseph Stalin , the Armenian and Uzbek anthems being exceptions), to
10950-584: The Three Kingdoms (including the English Civil War ), the Church of Scotland was re-established on a presbyterian basis but by the Act of Comprehension 1690, the rump of Episcopalians were allowed to hold onto their benefices . For liturgy, they looked to Laud's book and in 1724 the first of the "wee bookies" was published, containing, for the sake of economy, the central part of the Communion liturgy beginning with
11096-618: The Western Church, had come to be regarded in some quarters as unduly Catholic. On his accession and following the so-called " Millenary Petition ", James I called the Hampton Court Conference in 1604—the same meeting of bishops and Puritan divines that initiated the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. This was in effect a series of two conferences: (i) between James and the bishops; (ii) between James and
11242-677: The Year 2000 ", and Toto 's "Child's Anthem". A national anthem (also state anthem, national hymn, national song, etc.) is generally a patriotic musical composition that evokes and eulogizes the history, traditions, and struggles of a country 's people, recognized either by that state's government as the official national song , or by convention through use by the people. The majority of national anthems are marches or hymns in style. The countries of Latin America , Central Asia , and Europe tend towards more ornate and operatic pieces, while those in
11388-533: The accession of Elizabeth I reasserted the dominance of the Reformed Church of England, a significant body of more Protestant believers remained who were nevertheless hostile to the Book of Common Prayer. Knox took The Form of Prayers with him to Scotland , where it formed the basis of the Scottish Book of Common Order . Under Elizabeth I , a more permanent enforcement of the reformed Church of England
11534-563: The air. But with the flight of James in 1688 and the arrival of the Calvinist William of Orange the position of the parties changed. The Presbyterians could achieve toleration of their practices without such a right being given to Roman Catholics and without, therefore, their having to submit to the Church of England, even with a liturgy more acceptable to them. They were now in a much stronger position to demand changes that were ever more radical. John Tillotson , Dean of Canterbury pressed
11680-749: The best-known songs in the US On March 12, 2007, the Colorado Senate passed a resolution to make Denver's trademark 1972 hit " Rocky Mountain High " one of the state's two official state songs, sharing duties with its predecessor, "Where the Columbines Grow". On March 7, 2014, the West Virginia Legislature approved a resolution to make Denver's " Take Me Home, Country Roads " one of four official state songs of West Virginia. Governor Earl Ray Tomblin signed
11826-477: The bread and wine placed upon the table. Previously it had not been clear when and how bread and wine got onto the altar. The so-called "manual acts", whereby the priest took the bread and the cup during the prayer of consecration, which had been deleted in 1552, were restored; and an "amen" was inserted after the words of institution and before communion, hence separating the connections between consecration and communion which Cranmer had tried to make. After communion,
11972-494: The bread with the body of Christ or (following Cranmer's theology) as a prayer that the communicant might spiritually receive the body of Christ by faith. Many of the other services were little changed. Cranmer based his baptism service on Martin Luther 's service, a simplification of the long and complex mediaeval rite. Like communion, the baptism service maintained a traditional form. The confirmation and marriage services followed
12118-551: The case for the Church of England being essentially a part of the "Western Church", of which the Roman Catholic Church was the chief representative. The illegal use of elements of the Roman rite, the use of candles, vestments and incense – practices collectively known as Ritualism – had become widespread and led to the establishment of a new system of discipline, intending to bring the "Romanisers" into conformity, through
12264-506: The changes suggested by high Anglicans were implemented (though by no means all) and Spurr comments that (except in the case of the Ordinal) the suggestions of the "Laudians" ( Cosin and Matthew Wren ) were not taken up possibly due to the influence of moderates such as Sanderson and Reynolds. For example, the inclusion in the intercessions of the Communion rite of prayer for the dead was proposed and rejected. The introduction of "Let us pray for
12410-577: The congregation offers itself in union with Christ at the Consecration and receives Him in Communion - while retaining the Calvinist notions of "may be for us" rather than "become" and the emphasis on "bless and sanctify us" (the tension between the Catholic stress on objective Real Presence and Protestant subjective worthiness of the communicant). However, these Rites asserted a kind of Virtualism in regard to
12556-595: The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II . With the relaxation of the rule, in England at least, that anthems should only be in English, the repertoire has been greatly enhanced by the addition of many works from the Latin repertoire. The word "anthem" is commonly used to describe any celebratory song or composition for a distinct group, as in national anthems . Further, some songs are artistically styled as anthems, whether or not they are used as such, including Marilyn Manson 's " Irresponsible Hate Anthem ", Silverchair 's " Anthem for
12702-515: The earliest English-language service of the Church of England, was the first overt manifestation of his changing views. It was no mere translation from the Latin, instead making its Protestant character clear by the drastic reduction of the place of saints , compressing what had been the major part into three petitions. Published in 1544, the Exhortation and Litany borrowed greatly from Martin Luther 's Litany and Myles Coverdale's New Testament and
12848-500: The end of the Litany; altered the rubrics of Private Baptism limiting it to the minister of the parish, or some other lawful minister, but still allowing it in private houses (the Puritans had wanted it only in the church); and added to the Catechism the section on the sacraments. The changes were put into effect by means of an explanation issued by James in the exercise of his prerogative under
12994-737: The establishment of the Commonwealth under Lord Protector Cromwell , the Prayer Book was not reinstated until shortly after the restoration of the monarchy to England. John Evelyn records, in Diary , receiving communion according to the 1604 Prayer Book rite: In 1557, the Scots Protestant lords had adopted the English Prayer Book of 1552, for reformed worship in Scotland. However, when John Knox returned to Scotland in 1559, he continued to use
13140-413: The exact form of worship of the 1552 Prayer Book, and those, such as the minister of the congregation John Knox , who saw that book as still partially tainted by compromise. In 1555, the civil authorities expelled Knox and his supporters to Geneva , where they adopted a new prayer book, The Form of Prayers , which principally derived from Calvin's French-language La Forme des Prières . Consequently, when
13286-557: The fact that Reformed principles were by no means universally popular – a fact that the Queen recognised. Her revived Act of Supremacy , giving her the ambiguous title of supreme governor , passed without difficulty, but the Act of Uniformity 1558 , giving statutory force to the Prayer Book, passed through the House of Lords by only three votes in 1559. It made constitutional history in being imposed by
13432-565: The first addressed to the deceased. All that remained was a single reference to the deceased, giving thanks for their delivery from 'the myseryes of this sinneful world.' This new Order for the Burial of the Dead is a drastically stripped-down memorial service designed to undermine definitively the whole complex of traditional Catholic beliefs about Purgatory and intercessory prayer for the dead . The Orders of Morning and Evening Prayer are extended by
13578-625: The first moves to undo Cranmer's liturgy, the Queen insisted that the Words of Administration of Communion from the 1549 Book be placed before the Words of Administration in the 1552 Book, thereby re-opening the issue of the Real Presence . At the administration of the Holy Communion, the words from the 1549 book, "the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ …," were combined with the words of Edward VI 's second Prayer Book of 1552, "Take, eat in remembrance …," "suggesting on
13724-538: The former Soviet Union , Spain , and the United Kingdom , among others, are held to be unions of several "nations" by various definitions. Each of the different "nations" may have their own anthem and these songs may or may not be officially recognized; these compositions are typically referred to as regional anthems though may be known by other names as well (e.g. "state songs" in the United States ). In Austria ,
13870-561: The guiding role of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union , and to the brotherhood of the Soviet peoples, including a specific reference to the friendship of the Russian people (the Estonian, Georgian and Karelo-Finnish anthems were apparently an exception to this last rule). Some of the Soviet regional anthems' melodies can be sung in the Soviet Union anthem lyrics (Ukrainian and Belarus are
14016-532: The inclusion of a penitential section at the beginning including a corporate confession of sin and a general absolution , although the text is printed only in Morning Prayer with rubrical directions to use it in the evening as well. The general pattern of Bible reading in the 1549 edition is retained (as it was in 1559) except that distinct Old and New Testament readings are now specified for Morning and Evening Prayer on certain feast days. A revised English Primer
14162-444: The individual states of Malaysia have their own anthems. In Mexico , after the national anthem was established in 1854, most of the states of the federation adopted their own regional anthems, which often emphasize heroes, virtues or particular landscapes. In particular, the regional anthem of Zacatecas , the " Marcha de Zacatecas ", is one of the more well-known of Mexico's various regional anthems. In 2004 and 2005 respectively,
14308-469: The king to set up a commission to produce such a revision. The so-called Liturgy of Comprehension of 1689, which was the result, conceded two thirds of the Presbyterian demands of 1661; but, when it came to convocation the members, now more fearful of William's perceived agenda, did not even discuss it and its contents were, for a long time, not even accessible. This work, however, did go on to influence
14454-480: The laity alone, as all the bishops, except those imprisoned by the Queen and unable to attend, voted against it. Convocation had made its position clear by affirming the traditional doctrine of the Eucharist, the authority of the Pope, and the reservation by divine law to clergy "of handling and defining concerning the things belonging to faith, sacraments, and discipline ecclesiastical." After these innovations and reversals,
14600-538: The late mediaeval lay observation of the Latin Hours of the Virgin and its English-language equivalent primers . From the outset, the 1549 book was intended only as a temporary expedient, as German reformer Bucer was assured on meeting Cranmer for the first time in April 1549: "concessions … made both as a respect for antiquity and to the infirmity of the present age", as he wrote. According to historian Christopher Haigh,
14746-404: The medieval church, men and women had worshipped separately). Diarmaid MacCulloch describes the new act of worship as "a morning marathon of prayer, scripture reading, and praise, consisting of mattins , litany, and ante-communion, preferably as the matrix for a sermon to proclaim the message of scripture anew week by week." Many ordinary churchgoers — that is, those who could afford one, as it
14892-509: The mid-19th century and later 20th-century revisions that the Church of England would attempt to deal with the eucharistic doctrines of Cranmer by bringing the Church back to "pre-Reformation doctrine." In the meantime, the Scottish and American Prayer Books not only reverted to the 1549 text, but even to the older Roman and Eastern Orthodox pattern by adding the Oblation and an Epiclesis - i.e.
15038-662: The most common form, or "use", found in Southern England was that of Sarum (Salisbury). There was no single book; the services provided by the Book of Common Prayer were found in the Missal (the Eucharist ), the Breviary ( daily offices ), Manual (the occasional services of baptism , marriage, burial etc.), and Pontifical (services appropriate to a bishop — confirmation , ordination ). The chant ( plainsong , plainchant ) for worship
15184-434: The most fitted in this case). Most of these regional anthems were replaced with new national ones during or after the dissolution of the Soviet Union ; Belarus , Kazakhstan (until 2006), Tajikistan , Turkmenistan (until 1997), and Uzbekistan kept the melodies, but with different lyrics. Russia itself had abandoned the Soviet hymn, replacing it with a tune by Glinka . However, with Vladimir Putin coming to power,
15330-442: The national anthem of Romania " E scris pe tricolor Unire " shared the same melody as the national anthem of Albania " Himni i Flamurit ", which is the melody of a Romanian patriotic song " Pe-al nostru steag e scris Unire ". The modern national anthem of Germany , " Das Lied der Deutschen ", uses the same tune as the 19th- and early 20th-century Austro-Hungarian imperial anthem " Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser ". The " Hymn of
15476-480: The new Prayer Book, was the requirement of weekly Holy Communion services. In practice, as before the English Reformation , many received communion rarely, as little as once a year in some cases; George Herbert estimated it at no more than six times per year. Practice, however, varied from place to place. Very high attendance at festivals was the order of the day in many parishes and in some, regular communion
15622-440: The new forms of Anglican worship took several decades to gain acceptance, but by the end of her reign in 1603, 70–75% of the English population were on board. The alterations, though minor, were, however, to cast a long shadow over the development of the Church of England . It would be a long road back for the Church, with no clear indication that it would retreat from the 1559 Settlement except for minor official changes. In one of
15768-463: The offertory. Between then and 1764, when a more formal revised version was published, a number of things happened which were to separate the Scottish Episcopal liturgy more firmly from either the English books of 1549 or 1559. First, informal changes were made to the order of the various parts of the service and inserting words indicating a sacrificial intent to the Eucharist clearly evident in
15914-404: The old Soviet tune was restored, with new lyrics written to it. Like the hammer and sickle and red star , the public performance of the anthems of the Soviet Union's various regional anthems the national anthem of the Soviet Union itself are considered as occupation symbols as well as symbols of totalitarianism and state terror by several countries formerly either members of or occupied by
16060-485: The one hand a real presence to those who wished to find it and on the other, the communion as memorial only," i.e. an objective presence and subjective reception. The 1559 Prayer Book, however, retained the truncated Prayer of Consecration of the Communion elements, which omitted any notion of objective sacrifice. It was preceded by the Proper Preface and Prayer of Humble Access (placed there to remove any implication that
16206-526: The outward sign of sacrament and its inward grace, with only the unity of the two making the sacrament effective. This position was in agreement with the Reformed churches but in opposition to Roman Catholic and Lutheran views. As a compromise with conservatives, the word Mass was kept, with the service titled "The Supper of the Lord and the Holy Communion, commonly called the Mass". The service also preserved much of
16352-466: The prayer book and had important implications for his understanding of the sacraments . Cranmer believed that someone who was not one of God's elect received only the outward form of the sacrament (washing in baptism or eating bread in Communion), not actual grace , with only the elect receiving the sacramental sign and the grace. Cranmer held the position that faith, a gift given only to the elect, united
16498-509: The prayer books of many British colonies. By the 19th century, pressures to revise the 1662 book were increasing. Adherents of the Oxford Movement , begun in 1833, raised questions about the relationship of the Church of England to the apostolic church and thus about its forms of worship. Known as Tractarians after their production of Tracts for the Times on theological issues, they advanced
16644-566: The prime functions of a parish priest. Music was much simplified, and a radical distinction developed between, on the one hand, parish worship, where only the metrical psalms of Sternhold and Hopkins might be sung, and, on the other hand, worship in churches with organs and surviving choral foundations, where the music of John Marbeck and others was developed into a rich choral tradition. The whole act of parish worship might take well over two hours, and accordingly, churches were equipped with pews in which households could sit together (whereas in
16790-501: The removal of the prayer book and episcopacy " root and branch " resulted in local disquiet in many places and, eventually, the production of locally organised counter petitions. The parliamentary government had its way but it became clear that the division was not between Catholics and Protestants, but between Puritans and those who valued the Elizabethan settlement. The 1604 book was finally outlawed by Parliament in 1645 to be replaced by
16936-514: The resolution into law on March 8, 2014. Additionally, Woody Guthrie wrote or co-wrote two state folk songs – Roll On, Columbia, Roll On and Oklahoma Hills – but they have separate status from the official state songs of Washington and Oklahoma, respectively. Other well-known state songs include " Yankee Doodle ", " You Are My Sunshine ", " Rocky Top ", and " Home on the Range "; a number of others are popular standards, including " Oklahoma " (from
17082-515: The restoration of the monarchy, following the Savoy Conference between representative Presbyterians and twelve bishops which was convened by royal warrant to "advise upon and review the Book of Common Prayer ". Attempts by the Presbyterians, led by Richard Baxter , to gain approval for an alternative service book failed. Their major objections (exceptions) were: firstly, that it was improper for lay people to take any vocal part in prayer (as in
17228-412: The sacrifice of the Mass." The Marian Bishop Scot opposed the 1552 Book "on the grounds it never makes any connection between the bread and the Body of Christ. Untrue though [his accusation] was, the restoration of the 1549 Words of Distribution emphasized its falsity." However, beginning in the 17th century, some prominent Anglican theologians tried to cast a more traditional Catholic interpretation onto
17374-464: The scope of this petition: we pray for ourselves, we thank God for them, and adduces collateral evidence to this end. Secondly, an attempt was made to restore the Offertory . This was achieved by the insertion of the words "and oblations" into the prayer for the Church and the revision of the rubric so as to require the monetary offerings to be brought to the table (instead of being put in the poor box) and
17520-587: The situation is similar to that in Germany. The regional anthem of Upper Austria , the "Hoamatgsang" (English: "Chant of the Homeland" ), is notable as the only (official) German-language anthem written – and sung – entirely in dialect. In Belgium , Wallonia uses " Le Chant des Wallons " and Flanders uses " De Vlaamse Leeuw ". Most of the Brazilian states have official anthems. Minas Gerais uses an adapted version of
17666-460: The species of the Eucharist nor "to any Corporal Presence of Christ's natural Flesh and Blood"—which, according to the rubric, were in heaven, not here. While intended to create unity, the division established under the Commonwealth and the licence given by the Directory for Public Worship were not easily passed by. Unable to accept the new book, 936 ministers were deprived. The actual language of
17812-454: The terms of the 1559 Act of Uniformity and Act of Supremacy. The accession of Charles I (1625–1649) brought about a complete change in the religious scene in that the new king used his supremacy over the established church "to promote his own idiosyncratic style of sacramental Kingship" which was "a very weird aberration from the first hundred years of the early reformed Church of England". He questioned "the populist and parliamentary basis of
17958-523: The text as a Commemorative Sacrifice and Heavenly Offering even though the words of the Rite did not support such interpretations. Cranmer , a good liturgist, was aware that the Eucharist from the mid-second century on had been regarded as the Church's offering to God, but he removed the sacrificial language anyway, whether under pressure or conviction. It was not until the Anglican Oxford Movement of
18104-625: The title "Hey, Slovaks" ("Hej, Slováci") by Samuel Tomášik and it has since served as the ethnic anthem of the Pan-Slavic movement, the organizational anthem of the Sokol physical education and political movement, the national anthem of Yugoslavia and the transitional anthem of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro . The song is also considered to be the second, unofficial anthem of the Slovaks. Its melody
18250-516: The traditional Italian song "Vieni sul mar" as its unofficial anthem. During the Vargas Era (1937–1945) all regional symbols including anthems were banned, but they were legalized again by the Eurico Gaspar Dutra government. The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador , having been the independent Dominion of Newfoundland before 1949, also has its own regional anthem from its days as
18396-609: The unused but consecrated bread and wine were to be reverently consumed in church rather than being taken away for the priest's own use. By such subtle means were Cranmer's purposes further confused, leaving it for generations to argue over the precise theology of the rite. One change made that constituted a concession to the Presbyterian Exceptions, was the updating and re-insertion of the so-called " Black Rubric ", which had been removed in 1559. This now declared that kneeling in order to receive communion did not imply adoration of
18542-542: The use of the Book of Common Prayer , until they, like the English church, produced prayer books which took into account the developments in liturgical study and practice in the 19th and 20th centuries which come under the general heading of the Liturgical Movement . In South Africa a Book of Common Prayer was "Set Forth by Authority for Use in the Church of the Province of South Africa " in 1954. The 1954 prayer book
18688-422: The whole state of Christ's Church militant here in earth" remained unaltered and only a thanksgiving for those "departed this life in thy faith and fear" was inserted to introduce the petition that the congregation might be "given grace so to follow their good examples that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom". Griffith Thomas commented that the retention of the words "militant here in earth" defines
18834-505: The word Mass . Stone altars were replaced with communion tables positioned in the chancel or nave, with the priest standing on the north side. The priest is to wear the surplice instead of traditional Mass vestments. The service appears to promote a spiritual presence view of the Eucharist, meaning that Christ is spiritually but not corporally present. There was controversy over how people should receive communion: kneeling or seated. John Knox protested against kneeling. Ultimately, it
18980-403: The words, "we thy humble servants do celebrate and make before thy Divine Majesty with these thy holy gifts which we now OFFER unto thee, the memorial thy Son has commandeth us to make;" secondly, as a result of Bishop Rattray's researches into the liturgies of St James and St Clement, published in 1744, the form of the invocation was changed. These changes were incorporated into the 1764 book which
19126-449: The work all over again for itself". In 1927, the work on a new version of the prayer book reached its final form. In order to reduce conflict with traditionalists, it was decided that the form of service to be used would be determined by each congregation. With these open guidelines, the book was granted approval by the Church of England Convocations and Church Assembly in July 1927. However, it
19272-516: Was added in 1550. There was also a calendar and lectionary , which meant a Bible and a Psalter were the only other books a priest required. The BCP represented a "major theological shift" in England towards Protestantism. Cranmer's doctrinal concerns can be seen in the systematic amendment of source material to remove any idea that merit contributes to salvation. The doctrines of justification by faith and predestination are central to Cranmer's theology. These doctrines are implicit throughout
19418-722: Was contained in the Roman Gradual for the Mass , the Antiphonale for the offices, and the Processionale for the litanies . The Book of Common Prayer has never contained prescribed music or chant, but in 1550 John Merbecke produced his Booke of Common Praier noted , which sets much of Mattins, Evensong, Holy Communion and the Burial Office in the Prayer Book to simple plainchant, generally inspired by Sarum Use. The work of producing
19564-400: Was decided that communicants should continue to kneel, but the Privy Council ordered that the Black Rubric be added to the prayer book to clarify the purpose of kneeling. The rubric denied "any real and essential presence … of Christ's natural flesh and blood" in the Eucharist and was the clearest statement of eucharistic theology in the prayer book. The 1552 service removed any reference to
19710-480: Was defeated by the House of Commons in 1928. The effect of the failure of the 1928 book was salutary: no further attempts were made to revise the Book of Common Prayer . Instead a different process, that of producing an alternative book, led to the publication of Series 1, 2 and 3 in the 1960s, the 1980 Alternative Service Book and subsequently to the 2000 Common Worship series of books. Both differ substantially from
19856-458: Was expensive — would own a copy of the Prayer Book. Judith Maltby cites a story of parishioners at Flixton in Suffolk who brought their own Prayer Books to church in order to shame their vicar into conforming with it. They eventually ousted him. Between 1549 and 1642, roughly 290 editions of the Prayer Book were produced. Before the end of the English Civil War (1642–1651) and the introduction of
20002-552: Was prohibited. The elevation had been the central moment of the mediaeval Mass, attached as it was to the idea of real presence . Cranmer's eucharistic theology was close to the Calvinist spiritual presence view , and can be described as Receptionism and Virtualism: the real presence of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. The words of administration in the 1549 rite are deliberately ambiguous; they can be understood as identifying
20148-549: Was published in 1553, adapting the Offices, Morning and Evening Prayer, and other prayers for lay domestic piety. The 1552 book was used only for a short period, as Edward VI died in the summer of 1553 and, as soon as she could do so, Mary I restored union with Rome. The Latin Mass was reestablished, with altars, roods , and statues of saints reinstated in an attempt to restore the English Church to its Roman affiliation. Cranmer
20294-519: Was punished for his work in the English Reformation by being burned at the stake on 21 March 1556. Nevertheless, the 1552 book survived. After Mary's death in 1558, it became the primary source for the Elizabethan Book of Common Prayer, with only subtle, if significant, changes. Hundreds of English Protestants fled into exile, establishing an English church in Frankfurt am Main . A bitter and very public dispute ensued between those, such as Edmund Grindal and Richard Cox , who wished to preserve in exile
20440-405: Was resisted by some Protestants. The Welsh edition of the Book of Common Prayer for use in the Church in Wales was published in 1567. It was translated by William Salesbury assisted by Richard Davies . On Elizabeth's death in 1603, the 1559 book, substantially that of 1552 which had been regarded as offensive by some, such as Bishop Stephen Gardiner , as being a break with the tradition of
20586-450: Was the only service that might be considered Protestant to have been finished within Henry VIII's lifetime. Only after Henry VIII's death and the accession of Edward VI in 1547 could revision of prayer books proceed faster. Despite conservative opposition, Parliament passed the Act of Uniformity on 21 January 1549, and the newly authorised Book of Common Prayer (BCP) was required to be in use by Whitsunday (Pentecost), 9 June. Cranmer
20732-428: Was to achieve a greater correspondence between liturgy and Scripture. The bishops gave a frosty reply. They declared that liturgy could not be circumscribed by Scripture, but rightfully included those matters which were "generally received in the Catholic church." They rejected extempore prayer as apt to be filled with "idle, impertinent, ridiculous, sometimes seditious, impious and blasphemous expressions." The notion that
20878-402: Was to be the liturgy of the Scottish Episcopal Church (until 1911 when it was revised) but it was to influence the liturgy of the Episcopal Church in the United States . A new revision was finished in 1929, the Scottish Prayer Book 1929 , and several alternative orders of the Communion service and other services have been prepared since then. The 1662 Prayer Book was printed two years after
21024-444: Was to replace the Roman Catholic teaching that the Mass was a sacrifice to God ("the very same sacrifice as that of the cross") with the Protestant teaching that it was a service of thanksgiving and spiritual communion with Christ. Cranmer's intention was to suppress Catholic notions of sacrifice and transubstantiation in the Mass. To stress this, there was no elevation of the consecrated bread and wine , and eucharistic adoration
21170-427: Was undertaken and the 1552 book was republished, scarcely altered, in 1559. The Prayer Book of 1552 "was a masterpiece of theological engineering." The doctrines in the Prayer Book and the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion as set forth in 1559 would set the tone of Anglicanism, which preferred to steer a via media ("middle way") between Lutheranism and Calvinism . The conservative nature of these changes underlines
21316-441: Was very popular; in other places families stayed away or sent "a servant to be the liturgical representative of their household." Few parish clergy were initially licensed by the bishops to preach; in the absence of a licensed preacher, Sunday services were required to be accompanied by reading one of the homilies written by Cranmer. George Herbert was, however, not alone in his enthusiasm for preaching, which he regarded as one of
