THE EUROPEAN ANTHEM This melody comes from the 9th symphony composed in 1823 by Ludwig Van Beethoven .The Council of Europe adopted Ode to Joys theme as its anthem in 1972.In 1974 it became the official anthem of the European Union. It expresses the European ideals of freedom, peace and solidarity. It has no words and it doesnt replace the European national anthems; it rather celebrates the values they share. THE ESTONIAN ANTHEM Mu isamaa, mu nn ja rm is the Estonian national anthem. It means My fatherland, my joy and my happiness. It was played for the first time in 1869 and it immediately became the symbol of Estonian national awakening. It was adopted as the national anthem of the Republic of Estonia in 1920, after the Estonian War of Independence. It was banned during the Soviet occupation and replaced by another official anthem. It became the national anthem again in 1990. It is very similar to the Finnish one. The lyrics were written by Johann Voldermar Jannsen and the melody was composed by Fredrik Pacius in 1848. THE BULGARIAN ANTHEM Mila Rodino which means Dear motherland is the Bulgarian anthem. It was adopted in 1964. The text has been changed different times. Its lyrics and melody were written by Cvetan Cvetkov Radoslavov . During the communist rule two additional verses about Moscow were added THE GERMAN ANTHEM The Deutschlandlied, Song of Germany, also known as Das Lied der Deutschen, The Song of the Germans, has been the national anthem of Germany since 1922, except in East Germany. After the fall of the Nazi Germany, only the third stanza has been used as the national anthem. It is Einigkeit Und Recht Freiheit which means Unity and justice and freedom. The melody was written by the Austrian

composer F. J. Haydn in 1797 for the Emperor Francis IIs birthday. The lyrics were written by the German linguist A. H. Hoffmann. THE POLISH ANTHEM Mazurek Dbrowskiego, which means dbrowskis mazurka, is the Polish anthem. It is also known as Pie Legionw Polskich We Woszech which means Songs of the Polish legions in Italy. The lyrics were written by Jzef Wybick in Reggio Emilia in Italy in 1797. It was originally meant to boost the morale of Polish soldiers .It was officially adopted as the national anthem in 1926. THE TURKISH ANTHEM stikll Mar ,the Turkish National anthem, means Independence Hymn. It was officially adopted in 1921, two years before the founding of the Modern Turkish Republic. A framed version of the national anthem is on the wall of each classroom at school in Turkey accompanied by a Turkish flag, a photograph of the country's founding father Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and a copy of his famous inspirational speech to the nation's youth. The anthem is about affection of Turkish for homeland, freedom and faith, sacrifice for liberty and hope and devotion THE ITALIAN ANTHEM It is called Inno di Mameli , but it is best known among Italians as Fratelli dItalia which means Brothers of Italy from its opening line. The words were written by a young Italian student and patriot Goffredo Mameli in 1847 and it was set to music two years later by Michele Novaro. It was very popular during the period of Risorgimento. After the Unification of Italy in 1861 the Marcia Reale (Royal March) became the official hymn of the house of Savoy. After the II World War, when Italy became a Republic (1846), Fratelli dItalia was provisionally chosen as the national anthem. It only became official in 2012.
