This is a 1952 recording of the London Philharmonia Orchestra performing “God Save The Queen“. The Orchestra is conducted by Arturo Toscanini.
“God Save The Queen“ is the national anthem of the United Kingdom and one of two national anthems used by New Zealand since 1977, as well as for several of the UK’s territories that have their own additional local anthem. It is also the royal anthem of all the aforementioned countries, as well as Australia (since 1984), Canada (since 1980), Barbados and Tuvalu.
In countries not previously part of the British Empire, the tune of “God Save the Queen“ has provided the basis for various patriotic songs, though still generally connected with royal ceremony. In the United States, the melody is used for the patriotic song “My Country, ’Tis of Thee“. The melody is also used for the national anthem of Liechtenstein, “Oben am jungen Rhein“.
The sovereign and her or his consort are saluted with the entire anthem, while other members of the Royal Family who are entitled to royal salute (such as the Prince of Wales) receive just the first six bars. The first six bars also form all or part of the Vice Regal Salute in some Commonwealth realms outside the UK (e.g., in Canada, governors general and lieutenant governors at official events are saluted with the first six bars of “God Save the Queen“ followed by the first four and last four bars of “O Canada“), as well as the salute given to governors of British overseas territories.
No one knows who/when it was composed, although some credit the 1600s composer John Bull.
