National Anthem should be further remembered by all Peruvians Who has not sung the national anthem at school? Who has not heard these days as we celebrate another year of our independence? But we knew what we sang? Did we know the meaning of that verse that starts talking about a Peruvian, oppressed?
In September last year on the anniversary of the Armed Forces was sung for the first time in an official ceremony the sixth stanza in place of the first stanza, known as the "apocryphal verse" because nobody knows who was the creator of that verse.
Defense Minister, Rafael Rey, by ministerial order, ended the anonymous verse and decided to change it for the last verse of our national anthem original. According to King, the message was negative and defeatist verse thus distorted the national spirit.
This was the order of the National Anthem which was maintained for more than a century Chorus
are free, let us be always
and deny its light before the sun,
that fail to keep the solemn vow that the motherland to
Eternal rose. Stanza
anonymous long time the oppressed Peruvian
Dragged the ominous chain;
sentenced to a cruel bondage
long groaned silently.
Hardly the sacred cry
Freedom! Heard on its shores, the indolence of the slave
shakes,
raised his humiliated head. DAMN VERSE
For example, in the first line of the verse down word means slave, and then in the second line, the ominous term means abominable, the third line condemns us to submit and the fourth to be quiet .
For the former rector of the University Federico Villarreal and one of the most vociferous critics, James Agurto Calvo, this is a verse that paints us as lazy, oppressed, condemned to a cruel bondage and moan in silence, and for these reasons he has been called the "accursed verse" . Agurto
that letter indicates that lack of historical truth and insult to our ancestors by making charges of indolence and cowardice. "It is outrageous that we ourselves, Peruvians, incriminate we offend them without reason and to attack the national dignity."
He argues that when drafting the text of the law recognized as the National Anthem the letter and music composed by José de la Torre Ugarte and Jose Bernardo Alcedo, respectively, the first verse improperly changed the original composition by a line from a popular song which referred to the wars of independence.
Today, that verse is no longer part of our National Anthem. Now the point to be learned is: Verse VI
the Andes at the top, hold the flag or banner
bicolor,
than ever
announce the effort to be free, gave us forever.
his shadow we live calmly,
and peaks at birth by the sun, the great oath renew
we pay the God of Jacob. VERSE
APOCRYPHAL
In June 2005 the Constitutional Court in its ruling noted that the first verse of the anthem corresponds to an anonymous author, but was built by the will of the Peruvian people through the Law 1801, which was promulgated on February 26, 1913.
History confirms it. General Jose de San Martin after proclaiming the independence of our country held a contest to choose the National Anthem, then called National March. Of the seven executions that took various musicians from the era, winning the competition was that of José de la Torre Ugarte, with accompanying José Bernardo Alcedo Music. Just
master terminates Alcedo, San Martin did not hesitate a second to select the winner. "Without dispute, this is the national anthem of Peru," he said. Rosa Merino was the first to sing our anthem with the original verses. José Bernardo Alcedo
in his book Elementary Theory of Music mentioned displayed the chorus and six stanzas that had undergone some changes, but that did not include the verse that we all sing.
Similarly in 1853, the poet Manuel Corpancho published the chorus and three verses of the national anthem in his book Patriotic Lira Peru, and no Stanza is apocryphal. Then a stranger entered the apocryphal verse and kept us fooled for over 100 years.
