"İstiklâl Marşı" ('Independence March') is the national anthem of Turkey. It was officially adopted in 1921 —two-and-a-half years before the 29 October 1923 establishment of the nation— both as a motivational musical saga for the troops fighting in the Turkish War of Independence, and as an aspirational anthem for a Republic that was yet to be established. Competition was arranged for the selection of a musical composition that would best suit the elected anthem. The Committee adopted the music composed by Ali Rıfat Çağatay in 1924. This early composition by Çağatay lasted only six years. In 1930, a new composition by Osman Zeki Üngör, virtuoso composer and the first conductor of the Presidential Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Turkey, was adopted as a permanent musical arrangement. (Turkish Lyrics / Türk Milli Marşı Sözleri) Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak; Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak. O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak; O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak. Dalgalan sen de şafaklar gibi ey şanlı hilâl; Olsun artık dökülen kanlarımın hepsi helâl! Ebediyyen sana yok, ırkıma yok izmihlâl. Hakkıdır, hür yaşamış bayrağımın hürriyet; Hakkıdır, Hakk'a tapan milletimin istiklâl!

Out spake their Captain brave and bold: A merry wight was he: Though London Tower were Michael's hold, We'll set Trelawny free!

Where the Columbines Grow is one of the two official state songs of Colorado. It was written and composed by Dr. Arthur John Fynn in 1911, and was adopted in 1915. Where the snowy peaks gleam in the moonlight, above the dark forests of pine, And the wild foaming waters dash onward, toward lands where the tropic stars shine; Where the scream of the bold mountain eagle, responds to the notes of the dove Is the purple robed West, the land that is best, the pioneer land that we love. CHORUS: Tis the land where the columbines grow, Overlooking the plains far below, While the cool summer breeze in the evergreen trees Softly sings where the columbines grow.

Not internationally recognized, Ciskei was re-incorporated into South Africa when the apartheid system was abolished in 1994.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from the "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a poem written in 1814, by 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the U.S. victory. O say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
