[edit] History
The Lebanese national anthem was chosen following an open nationwide competition.
[edit] Composition
The music of the national anthem is influenced by Beirut's exposure to western culture by the end of the 19th century, it was composed by French trained artist Wadih Sabra in 1925.[1]
[edit] Controversy
Al-Jadeed showed a mini documentary on the Lebanese National Anthem, claiming the music to have been plagiarized from a song dedicated to Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-Karim al-Khattabi, the leader of the Rif Republic, which was composed by Lebanese Mohammed Flayfel.[2] it later showed another documentary containing documents that disprove the claim.[3]
