An original piano mashup of 50 national anthems, from countries covering 72% of the world population! The selection and combination of countries were entirely musical decisions. This video doesn't make statements on any country. Similarly, the labels are written in the official languages of each country, plus an English translation. ===================================== So yeah, as promised I have finally followed up the Christmas Music Mashup with another piano mashup... after 3 years. This one took around a week to write and was more difficult than the Christmas Mashup due to a lack of familiarity with most of the material. Overall, I feel that it's less catchy as a song, but a more satisfying product due to the greater variation of style and my more sophisticated approach to accompaniment, modulation, voicing, etc. The UK/US duet is partially quoted from a quodlibet written by Glenn Gould. It doesn't have a title, nor was it formally published, but searching those keywords up should lead you to a discussion on it. I'm usually hesitant to quote others, but it was honestly too good to leave out. There is an easter egg for Canadian viewers :) ===================================== Errors/notes: - Beyond some creative liberties in terms of tempo/repeats, there are some small errors that arose from arrangement differences in the Spotify playlist I used as reference. Luckily, these don't impact the counterpoint/harmony so I will change these for the official sheet music copy, but unfortunately I can't change them here. - The opening statement of Italy's anthem (0:37) should start on G, not C. Thanks to Elisabetti Nessi for pointing this out in the comments. - Some straight rhythms in Afghanistan’s anthem (1:54) should be dotted depending on your source. - A couple anthems are missing a note or have an extra note that doesn't really affect the sound. - The Afghanistan flag and anthem here are the old ones used prior to Taliban takeover in 2021. ===================================== Circular flag icons by /u/Half_Line on reddit: Check out the Christmas Music Mashup: Inspired by grantwoolard: ===================================== #mashup #music #medley #mashups #piano #nationalanthem #nationalanthems #anthem #anthems #classicalmusic #classical #canada
