Category: RoyalanthemsGustafs skål, literally Toast to Gustaf, is a song written by Carl Michael Bellman as a salutation to King Gustaf III of Sweden, following the coup detat in 1772, which made himself an autocrat and ended the parliamentary Age of Liberty.
It is traditionally used as the national anthem of the United Kingdom and of England and Northern Ireland, one of the two national anthems of New Zealand, and the royalanthem of Canada and the other Commonwealth realms, as well as the royalanthem of the British Royal Family.
Though the anthem of the Church of England is analogous to the motet of the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches, both being written for a trained choir and not for the congregation, it is as a musical form essentially English in its origin and development.
The anthem developed as a replacement for the Catholic "votive antiphon" commonly sung as an appendix to the main office to the Blessed Virgin Mary or other saints.
Though anthems were written in the Elizabethan period by Byrd, Tallis and others they are not mentioned in the Book of Common Prayer until 1662, when the famous rubric In quires and places where they sing here followeth the Anthem first appears.
