La Marseillaise

La Marseillaise is the national anthem of France, written and composed by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle on April 24, 1792. Its original name is Chant de guerre de l'Armée du Rhin (Marching song of the Rhine Army). It became the rallying call of the French Revolution and was so-called because it was first sung on the streets by troops (fédérés) from Marseille upon their arrival in Paris.

[ILa Marseillaise was rearranged by Hector Berlioz around 1830.

In 1917, after the collapse of the tsarist regime La Marseillaise became the national anthem of Russia, the Russian lyrics (Otrechemsya ot starogo mira) being very different from the French lyrics. It was soon replaced with The Internationale by the Bolsheviks.

The song was banned in Vichy France and German occupied areas during World War II and singing it was an act of resistance.

Unofficial versions: Django Reinhardt "Echoes Of France", The Beatles, Serge Gainsbourg "Aux Armes et cetera" with Bob Marley's band in Jamaica.
