EDITORS COMMENTS
the iconic national anthem of France, is depicted in this print from the Carnavalet Museum in Paris. Composed by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in 1792 during the French Revolution, this musical masterpiece has become a powerful symbol of French patriotism and history. The print showcases the original musical notation of the hymn, as penned by Rouget de Lisle in the modern age. The musical score, filled with staves and notes, is a testament to the rich musical heritage of France and the revolutionary spirit of the time. The title of the anthem, "La Marseillaise," is prominently displayed at the top of the page, alongside the date of its composition, 1792. The historical significance of this musical notation cannot be overstated. "La Marseillaise" was first performed on the Champ de Mars in Paris on July 14, 1792, during a military parade to celebrate the French victory at the Battle of Valmy. The song quickly gained popularity and became a rallying cry for the French Revolution, inspiring soldiers and civilians alike to fight for their country's freedom and independence. Today, "La Marseillaise" remains an essential part of French culture and identity. It is sung at national events and sporting competitions, and its powerful lyrics continue to resonate with the French people. This print, preserved in the Carnavalet Museum, serves as a reminder of the rich musical and historical legacy of France and the enduring power of music to inspire and unite people.
