Does anyone know what the Olympic anthem is
At the opening ceremony of the 1st Olympic Games in 1896, after King George I of Greece declared the opening, the chorus sang a song called "Olympic Anthem". It is an ancient Greek song, composed by the Greek Samaras with lyrics by Palamas.
Since then, the Olympic Games have followed the precedent of the first Olympic Games, after the announcement of the opening of the Olympic Games to sing a chorus. For example, the 1936 Berlin Olympics chorus of the great composer Strauss specially composed for the Olympic Games song "Olympic Song". 1948 London Olympics chose Quilter, Kipling lyrics of the song "not for their own sake and for the Lord" as the anthem.
After the 1950s, it was suggested that a new song be rewritten as the permanent Olympic anthem, but several attempts were unsatisfactory. So, during the 1958 Tokyo Olympics, the IOC finally decided to use the Olympic Anthem, which was used at the 1st Olympics, as the permanent Olympic anthem, to be performed at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. The Olympic Anthem is a solemn and majestic piece of music, extremely infectious, with lyrics that express mankind's yearning for peace and love of sports. Its original score is now stored in the Olympic headquarters.
