National Anthem Mashup

[@WilliamYao]

Hey all! Thanks for the amazing feedback and kind words. You guys have no idea how much it means :) Some thoughts: 1) Sequel + Twitter I'll be writing a sequel to this soon and will post updates on Twitter: twitter.com/williamyao_. I don't love the app, but until I hit 1000 subs on KZbin, there's no way for me to communicate with you all beyond uploading new videos. So I'll use Twitter for text updates. 2) Missing countries Many of you were sad to see that your country wasn't represented. This is inevitable for a 5 minute mashup, but the good news is that I will try my best to include in the sequel every country mentioned in the comments. And just to set expectations - I saw comments suggesting that I mash up all ~200 countries in the world. While I would love to, realistically I can only fit 50-60 anthems per video... I would also add that you can probably fit 100+ anthems if you play only short snippets, but I think this impacts their musical enjoyability. France/Indonesia are repeated so often here because I'm trying to establish them as main themes and give this mashup some structure. 3) France-Algeria, other unfortunate combinations Oops... I knew that Algeria was formerly a French colony but didn't know how destructive their war for independence or how their relations work today. There are also other such situations in the video. I can't promise these awkward moments will be completely filtered in the sequel, but I will certainly consider them more carefully. 4) Editing software, sheet music, other behind the scenes stuff I use Premiere for the video and MuseScore for notation. For sheet music, I'm still deciding how I want to format and distribute it. Other than that, I'm planning on producing a short tutorial video where I discuss the writing/editing process and any tips-and-tricks. >>> If you want to see your country in the sequel, post it in a comment and I'll try my best! And subscribe to stay tuned for more content :)

[@spencerjacobsen329]

This sounds amazing! I’d also like to point out that whenever France’s anthem played, it was almost always alongside a country that has historically been under French influence (Algeria, Belgium, Andorra, Cameroon, Djibouti, etc.)

[@WilliamYao]

I noticed this while writing too. Personally all of those except for Djibouti definitely "feel" French without also feeling like any other European anthem I used here. As for Djibouti, it's written in a major pentatonic scale which I associate more strongly with East Asia, but I'm happy it somehow still fit into the chorus.

[@ZephyCluster]

I can tell you one of the times it wasn't (PH) it was because the composer of the anthem (and TBH the country as a whole) was heavily inspired by the french revolution at the time.

its actually shown quite nicely here

[@aaronkelly1912]

This is absolutely amazing how you mixed all of them and it sounds like an actual anthem for an real place

[@axyspianostudio]

This is the anthem for when all of humanity unite for one cause.

[@kanyoje]

@@Mrcoffe-xw8gz maybe there could be another version of this but with all 195 nation’s anthems in there (I actually don’t think every country has an anthem, so there might be less but still)

[@axyspianostudio]

@@Mrcoffe-xw8gz then we make a longer version with all the anthems lol

[@geerttimmerman6985]

damn mad respect for the sheer amount of work that went into this

[@elisabettanessi1360]

Is there any Italian who noticed the error (C C D C instead of G G A G) in the melody of our national anthem (for example at 00:37)? 🥲🇮🇹 Even if someone doesn't know the Italian anthem, I suppose they can notice this passage doesn't fit in with harmony!

[@WilliamYao]

I have no idea how that slipped in... I think early on I didn't take this project too seriously so I was transcribing most things from memory. It's actually super disappointing since it's such a noticeable error and honestly it sounds better (if not the same) once corrected. I've changed my copy of the music and while unfortunately I can't fix the video, I will mention it in the description. Thanks for pointing this out - I do have an Italian friend who previewed this video but maybe he was too polite to point it out haha. Hopefully it doesn't impact the enjoyment too much.

Germany and Russia's anthems sounded beautiful together. Also the Maple Leaf Forever was an awesome addition!

[@amberlewis012]

I don't know how I managed to find this..but this is incredible. I didn't know different countries' anthems, when put together, could sound so nice. Thank you for making this!

This is actually scarily beautiful, très bien!

[@Dylonely_9274]

I love so much music mashup. I missed so much these videos and I didn’t know there was already a new one several months later. Thank you very much for the work you put in this video.

[@WilliamYao]

I remember you from the comments of one of my gaming montages. I'm glad you found this again since it's been so long!

[@Mereaux]

Ah

[@Kijin-13]

4:51 actually there's a small piece of Chinese anthem hidden here

[@WilliamYao]

Yup. Honestly the reason it's not shown in the video is that I was too lazy to reposition the staves and change the clef. I think it's ok since China is used like 3 other times here and also I'm Chinese lol.

​@@WilliamYao Where is Korea? 🇰🇵 A reference to the international would have been nice

@@WawasConCebolla Korea is in 4:02. Not sure what weird ass flag that is, but I think I've seen it in the occupied provinces of the Republic. Anyway.

Alternate Title: Playing National Anthems but you have ADHD

[@Thang-qo4ow]

Peak of international unity is when France-Algeria, Russia-Germany, China-Japan and US-UK anthems work too well together.

[@GDcelta]

its so funny that you can hear your country anthem in the middle of the song, really good stuff man, i loved it

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

1:54 This isn't the current anthem of Afghanistan, this is the anthem of the US-puppeted Islamic Republic government that has since collapsed. The current anthem is called This is the Home of the Brave, and while the anthem when sung has no instruments (because the Taliban doesn't like instruments), an instrumental can still be done in the case of this mashup. Then again, I guess your bias was already made clear when you chose the ROK's anthem over our own glorious anthem, Aegukka.

[@kennylee6499]

was about to question sanity and then I saw…

[@pheonixteardrop]

Hearing your country's anthem is the most enthralling experience ever

[@PsychoticGirl2003]

Honestly I feel like there is a great metaphor to take in here. Independently our anthems are proud and beautiful. Just like our individual cultures. But when put together make something new, harmonious, and meaningful. I think it shows that independently we are strong, but together we are stronger. Shows the while humanity isn’t perfect. We are all proud and beautiful and this mix shows that we aren’t different. Just divided.

[@송윤이-y8o]

I'm listening to it in Korea. I'm using a translator! Thank you for including my country's songs in such a wonderful song! I wasn't expecting the national anthem of my country to come out, but thank you so much for putting the best parts of the song together!

[@treverthetree]

What a metaphor for how we are divided yet create something unique and beautiful when we come together.

Was not expecting The Maple Leaf Forever in this video, what a pleasant surprise

[@JiecinDumolang2011]

Playing the Philippine National Anthem after the French one fits for the music! Because the composer of the Philippine Anthem was actually inspired by the French and Spanish Anthem

[@lildumbguy]

It's bold of you to mix the Algerian anthem and the french anthem after the 1 million and half

[@nahouledeb5949]

Many Algerians live in France today and are also proud to be half French despite the dark history. The French government/army is responsible for the crime not the French people.
