Portraits depict King Leopold I; first king of the Belgians. • This is a 1914 recording of La Brabançonne (Belgian National Anthem) by the Edison Concert Band. The original recording came from Edison Cylinder 0211. • The Belgian national anthem was written in September 1830 by a young revolutionary called Jenneval , who read the lyrics (not included in this instrumental version) during a meeting at the Aigle d'Or café. Jenneval was in reality a Frenchman whose real name was Alexandre Dechet. Jenneval died in the war of independence. • • Jenneval's original lyrics: • Worthy children of Low Countries] • Whom a fine passion has aroused, • To your patriotic fervour • Great successes lie in store. • Remain under arms, so that naught shall change! • Let us keep to the same will, • And we shall see Orange bloom anew • Upon the tree of Liberty. • To cries of murder and pillage, • The wicked had rallied around, • But your forceful courage • Has pushed them far away. • Now, pure of this filth\\ • That was soiling your city, • Friends, we must graft Orange • Onto the tree of Liberty. • And you, in whom your people place their hopes, • Nassau, set firm our rights at last; • Remaining the father of the Belgians, • You'll be the example of kings. • Forswear a foreign minister, • Reject a too hated name, • And you will see Orange ripen • Upon the tree of Liberty. • But woe to you if, wilfully, • Pursuing dreadful plans, • You turn on us • The bloody cannon's fire! • Then all is over, all is changing; • No more pact, no more treaty, • And you shall see Orange fall • From the tree of Liberty. • • François Van Campenhout composed the accompanying score, based on the tune of a French song called L'Air des lanciers polonais ( the tune of the Polish Lancers ), written by the French poet Eugène de Pradel. • In 1860, Belgium formally adopted the song and music as its national anthem, although the then prime minister, Charles Rogier edited out lyrics attacking the Dutch Prince of Orange.
