Grand Dieu sauve le Roi (1686)

The one that truly came first

[@TheZapan99]

Always comical how the original hymn is never mentioned on the english Wikipedia page of God Save the Queen.

[@theauralucario60]

@Mental Diabetes you're right. This WAS mentioned in the English Wikipedia for God Save the Queen

[@michaelgarcia5437]

I checked, Are You Sure

[@MrBulky992]

Perhaps because it's not the original? Where's your evidence that this is the original? The English and French Wikipedia articles cite the attribution to John Bull (1563-1628) who is said to have performed (and presumably composed or arranged) it in 1607, setting the tune on paper in 1619, predating the French attribution to Lully by 67 years. The French Wikipedia article is not at all supportive of the Lully theory or its being the original version. Lully's composition of 1686 was actually a completely different piece entitled "Domine salvum fac regem" ("O Lord, save the King"). In the French version sung here, why is there a musical accent on the last syllables of the words "sauve" and "venge"? Poor word setting originating from English>French translation after 1745?

Grande Jean-Baptiste Lully

[@MrBulky992]

Sorry but no. This is not a work by Lully. It sounds nothing like anything he wrote and you will not find it listed among the complete catalogue of his works. The spurious attribution only dates from 1834, 150 years after Louis's unfortunate anal pustule. What Lully actually wrote was a grand motet entitled 'Domine salvum fac regem' (LWV 77/14 - 'Lord, save the King') which bears no musical resemblance whatever to this tune.

@DityMac Actually it was written by la duchesse de Brinon, but the music was composed by Jean Baptiste Lully. You are right when saying that it was copied by GF Handel and proposed to the british throne, with the word "Queen" instead of "King" used nowadays but it is a french anthem indeed.

Long live our Guernsey, An island in the sea, Long live Guernsey; Land of the liberty, Home of the donkeys, A green island in the sea, Long live Guernsey. Oh, sarnian folk arise, Scatter our enemies, And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, And this is our battle cry, “FOR DEMOCRACY!”. A land of flowers and trees, Green island in the sea, Long live Guernsey; With your great Navy rush, Sweeping that freedom brush, Rebellious brits to crush, Sarnia Cherie. Your choices gift in store, On our be pleased to pour, Long may you reign; We shall defend our laws, And ever give us cause, To sing with heart and voice, Long live Guernsey! I 💚 🇬🇬

@DityMac It was also used in Germany, during the 18th Century, and it was Russia's Anthem during the kingship of Alexander the First. Later, the Russian anthem was different, with the same name, but with other words and melody.

@@thetrollgehasbegun It would be if they did; but they didn't. You just have to look at the word setting of the first line to see that the English words fit the metre of the tune and the French do not: 'sauv-e' v 'great George' (changed to 'our gra[cious]' in the modern version). The French translator was obviously working with an existing tune.

@DityMac The history of Love-Hate between France and England is always fascinating. Each of them copied, emulated and tried to superseed what the other made... Competition in its healthy form but also with its long tragedies... Both Thrones always claimed to rule the land of the other at some time which is quite confusing. But that, I let it to other fellows... Still, I always love this great melody, even if some lyrics aged not very well...

je pense que c'est effectivement cela. mais cet hymne n'est pas de 1686. je pencherais plutôt dans la période historique de la Restauration Monarchique en France. pourquoi je pense cela? car la chanson dit"Grand Dieu venge le Roy" cette phrase fait référence à Louis XVI,ex-Roi de France. hors en 1686,le Royaume de France se porte comme un charme. les véritables paroles de 1686 doivent être les suivantes: Grand Dieu Sauve le Roy, Longs jours à notre Roy! Vive le Roy! à lui victoire, bonheur et gloire! qu'il ait un règne heureux, et l'appuis des cieux!

According to some, the original music ( by Lully?) is missing. So this version is perhaps a modern one, made after the God Save the King, and not the model of the God Save the King. Selon certaines sources, la musique originelle de l'hymne composé pour la guérison de Louis XIV est perdue. Donc je pense que l'hymne qu'on entend ici est une version recente faite d'après la mélodie du God Save The King et non le modèle qui a servi a composer le God Save the King. Toute l' histoire du chant de Lully recopié par Handel repose sur le récit de Mme de Créqui dans ses "mémoires", mais on a démontré que ces pseudo mémoires étaient l'ouvrage d'un auteur du début du 19 ème siècle. Donc, rien n'est prouvé.

[@alcestecleante2720]

@@alcestecleante2720 Pourquoi ? Il faut argumenter. Toute cette histoire sort des mémoires de Mme de Créqui qui sont un faux du 19 ème siècle... (rédigées en 1824) Aucun musicologue n'admet cette origine.
