Long Live The Kingdom of the Netherlands. 🇳🇱

[@sloththejolteon6472]

A quick note to add is that the ceremony did not change anthem wise. The only reason there's an organ in the primary role of playing the music is because that was the kings specific request. He hates trumpets with a passion it seems. But i expect the current heir to the throne to ascend with blaring trumpets, as it should be. Long live the king

An observation: I've noticed that the "speed" of singing the song has changed (increased) as time went by. See how slow it sounds in the inauguration of Queen Juliana and how fast it sounds in the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander. Is that a sign of the world becoming more modern and fast paced? Is that why old people often complain about the speed of the world nowadays... because they're not used to it? Is this video a testament to this rapid acceleration in everything in the world? Are we, humanity as a whole, losing the patience we previously had? Maybe yes, but one thing is certain. The pride, devotion, loyalty and love with which the song has always been sung has been the same all along. There is still some time before the rate at which the world is changing has an effect on our overall mindset. It takes time to change the mindset of people. Which means that it also takes time to change it to what it was earlier. Maybe we haven't derailed too far. Maybe we can come back before it's too late. But becoming fast isn't inherently bad though. It just shows the impatience growing among humanity. It's major disadvantage isn't singing songs quickly; it is something much bigger. We all know that patience is a virtue, which we are losing day by day. As for the song, as long as the passion with which it is sung remains, the speed doesn't really matter.

[@NZC_Meow]

Yeah that's just me overthinking

[@markvdakker99]

Well it goes a bit far to say that the speed increase is due to a rapid acceleration of the modern world. In fact, when this song (when it wasn't an anthem) was written (somewhere around the 15th century) the song was sung very different. It had a lot more speed and the rhythm was also very different. I think the slower previous versions of the anthem are more a matter of music taste during that time. Furthermore, in the twenty first century there was much more interest in the original versions of old music (take Bach music for example, nowadays you won't see a choir of over 100 people sing his music, but merely a 20 people or so, as it originally was). I think that contributes to the much faster tempo of 2013.

[@JackRoblox7512]

Yeah.

[@Knappa22]

Anyone else noticed in old recordings of the anthem the last line of the first verse is sung a little differently to today? In old recordings the “heb” in ‘Heb ick altijt gheeert’ is sung over two notes, and the “altijt” is then sung faster as two half notes.

[@NZC_Meow]

Yess it has been bugging me for years now lol Btw do you happen to know when exactly this change occurred? Or anything else about this?

[@NZC_Meow]

You're correct, but it's more like: "he eb ick-al tijt ge ert" (here each word represents one note) "Heb" is sung over two notes as you mentioned, but "ick-al" is sung faster as two half notes.

[@omnicyclion349]

[@paulwusteman9963]

That's a great National Anthem, a memorable beautiful melody. I understand that is was originally written a hymn.

No, originally it was a marching melody for French soldiers. But heavily altered.

In the song

[@Aaaaabbbbbbcccccccddddd]

Today the song feels very distant at times because of the verse with "DUITSE BLOED" this is because today this would mean germand/deutsch blood, however its meant as Dutsch speaking, nederlands sprekende, this causes distancing from my current and younger generations

[@tk-6967]

Why do monarchs abdicate so often in Holland? In Britain it is taboo, why is it not the same over there? If the duties of the monarch become too arduous, then the Crown Prince should simply be given some of those duties.

[@jaykeh1167]

In the Netherlands it is tradition for monarchs to abdicate after a certain time

What a magnificent National Anthem. Though the only thing I don't like is its lyrics. For whatever known or unknown reason, the lyrics includes/mentions Germany (?) and King of Spain? I mean I have absolutely nothin'' against neither Germany nor Spain, but come on, this is National Anthem of the Netherlands, not National Anthem of Germany nor National Anthem of Spain! :-)

Lekker chillen in Engeland, terwijl het volk omkomt van de honger. Lang leve het koningshuis!

[@fcassmann]

Lees eens wat. In 1940 bestond het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden niet alleen uit de lage landen.De gevluchte regering had ook de verantwoording over Nederlands Indie,Suriname,de Antillen en Nieuw Guinea,elk met grondstoffen en productie capaciteit die strategisch belangrijk waren .

[@freedomfreedomfreedom]

@@fcassmann Is dat waarom Willem Alexander tijdens de Pandemie zo vaak op vakantie ging? Verplichtingen elders.. Andere koningshuizen in Europe bleven met hun onderdanen tijdens WW2, de onze ging weg.. om hun inkomen in de kolonies veilig te stellen, volgens jou. Ook interessant is hoe ze naderhand geld wat verdiend werd met troostmeisjes in deze kolonies (Japanse Bordelen) voor zichzelf hielden. Misschien ook interessant is hoe prins Bernard naderhand geld heeft genomen van de wiedergutmachung om zichzelf te compenseren, want, zo was hij van mening, de Duitsers waren hem geld schuldig. Misschien leuk om aan toe te voegen, bij de huwelijk van Juliana en Bernard was de broer van Bernard in volledig Nazi uniform aanwezig, en had de huwelijk eerst een goedkeuring gekregen van Adolf. Als ik mij niet vergis werden er zelfs nazi liedjes gespeeld door het orkest. Maar je hebt gelijk, het zijn echt geen parasieten die bloed aan hun handen hebben - misschien die paar boeren die onlangs werden doodgeschoten voor dat vakantie huisje daar in Mozambique. Aardige mensen hoor. Ze zijn tenslotte van Duitse bloed.

[@freedomfreedomfreedom]

*P.S. dit was een antwoord aan @fclassman die het nodig vond om voor het koningshuis op te komen. Hij betichte mij dat ik niet genoeg las, etc, etc. Standaard gedachtengoed van superioriteit dat vaak bij koningshuis aanhangers vastkleeft.. Echter, hij had besloten zijn commentaar te verwijderen nadat ik hem een uitgebreide antwoord gaf. Zijn reactie is weg, maar ik laat mijn weder-reactie staan, omdat het verwijderen vertegenwoordigt zo prachtig hoe dwaas en zwak de aanhangers van onze koningshuis zijn.*

@@GayBlkWorld That is in the UK. I think its proper so it will not burden both the sovereign and successor too much. The successor is not too old to built up his reign and the sovereign would not lose his/her dignity because of old age.

Not really -- because it's more of a retirement than a defenestration. Monarchy if done right can be a unifying thing -- but that doesn't mean the person has to be there until they can barely stand.
