United Anthems, by Maxime Goulet, OCM and Boris Brott

United Anthems is a collage (or mosaic) of very short musical excerpts from the national anthems of 35 nations across the globe. The piece celebrates diversity and world peace. An original idea from its composer Maxime Goulet.
Commissioned by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the McGill Chamber Orchestra (now known as the Orchestre classique de Montréal), to highlight the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation, the piece begins, of course, with Canada’s national anthem. Next, we hear the anthems of France and the United Kingdom (the two “founding nations”), then that of the United States (the closest neighbor). The piece goes on to pay homage to many nations that contributed to the founding of Canada, particularly Scotland* and Ireland. The vision broadens to include nations from every continent, sometimes even uniting populations that would not otherwise be joined (for example, North and South Korea or Israel and Palestine).
During the performance of the piece, images of each nation’s flag can be projected on a screen above the orchestra. The lowest staff of the score indicates precisely at what moment in the piece each flag should be shown to match the corresponding national anthem excerpt. All the image files of these flags are included as a PowerPoint file with the material of the piece.
Here is the list of the 35 anthems quoted in the piece: Canada, France, United Kingdom, United States, Ukraine, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Germany, Cuba, Japan, Switzerland, Greece, South, Africa, Egypt, Peru, Haiti, Argentina, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Denmark, South Korea, North Korea, Russia, Belgium, Colombia, Australia, Philippines, India, Poland, Nigeria, Mexico, China, and Spain.
United Anthems was commissioned by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre Classique de Montréal, as one in a series of fanfares, in celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada, with financial assistance from the Government of Canada.
*Scotland doesn't have an official national anthem at the moment. However, a number of songs are used as Scottish anthems (in sporting events or others), most notably "Flower of Scotland" and "Scotland the Brave". Source:
en.wikipedia.o...
I went with Scotland the Brave, simply because it worked better musically within this mashup.

Lyrics O Canada Le jour de gloire est arrivé! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Gave proof through the night ні слава, ні воля Seo Libh, Canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann Fratelli d'Italia Hark when the night is falling Hear!

This may sound equally ridiculous, but you can sing the words of the Luxembourgish anthem to the tune of the Australian anthem, and the lyrics will still fit the rhythm. Same for the German, New Zealand, and Serbian anthems. They each can be sung to each others' tunes.

It's giving me the vibes of a sitcom opening for a live action The Office-esque Hetalia/SATW, with each nation getting screentime and appearance order based on their anthem's position on the song, beginning with Canada punching in on the world office clock, as the camera pans to other nations working in cubicles, at the elevator, lining up for coffee, and ending with the cluster of nations at the end rushing in late

When the anthems of the USA and the UK seamlessly gathered together, I cried so hard. As an Englishman who has lived in America for eight years, I felt immensely proud to represent two great nations that have done so much for the world. The united anthem itself represents all of us, but personally, the connection between these two countries moved me to tears. This music should play when we represent humanity, not just individual countries.

Is it possible to make one with all 197 Nations, i know that what counts a country is topical, but i am of the position, is who controls the land, this excludes civil war factions and completely disavowed hostile states, such as the former ISIS, that only exist as a hostile act. All those conflicting sounds and melodies would be a hassle, but what you have achieved so far is remarkable.
