EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the final bars of the United Kingdom's cherished national anthem, "God Save the Queen," as it appeared in a late Victorian manuscript from 1897. The music notation, penned in meticulous detail, includes the addition of an "Amen" at the end, a common practice in hymns and religious music. The anthem's lyrics, which date back to the 18th century, have served as a powerful symbol of patriotism and unity for the people of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The musical notation is adorned with the majestic coats of arms of the British Isles, each emblem representing the rich history and heritage of the four constituent nations. The crowns atop the emblems serve as a reminder of the monarch for whom the anthem is named, while the crotchets and minims dance in perfect harmony, symbolizing the unity and order that binds the United Kingdom together. This beautiful manuscript, a testament to the enduring power of music and the deep-rooted traditions of the British Isles, offers a glimpse into the past and the continuity of the national anthem that continues to resonate with the people of the United Kingdom today.
