La Marseillaise

"La Marseillaise," France's national anthem, was composed on April 24, 1792, by Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle, a French captain of engineers, then stationed in Strasbourg.

At a banquet in honor of the officers who were to take part in France's campaign against Austria, Rouget de Lisle was commissioned by the major of Strasbourg to write a marc hing song for the French troops. That same evening he wrote both the words and music of the hymn that was destined to make him famous.

The anthem was published in Strasbourg under the title "War Song of the Army of the Rhine" and dedicated to Marshal Luckner, commander-in-chief at that army. It soon became known in southern France, and it was sung by a battalion of volunteers from Marseilles as they entered Paris in June 1792. The song aroused great enthusiasm in the capital and was immediately referred to as "La Marseillaise."

Although the music of the "Marseillaise" has undergone various changes since the eighteenth century, Rouget de Lisle's melody has remained intact. The original words of the anthem have not been changed. Only a seventh stanza, called the "children's stanza" was added later.³

Allons enfants de la Patrie,

Le jour de gloire est arrivé!

Contre nous de la tyrannie

L'étendard sanglant est levé,

L'étendard sanglant est levé!

Entendez-vous dans les campagnes

Mugir ces féroces soldats?

Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras

Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes.

Aux armes, citoyens!

Formez vos bataillons!

Marchons, marchons!

Qu'un sang impur

Abreuve nos sillons!
