Score

[edit]

It seems to me that the score shown in the article, File:Volk en Vaderland 33 - Afrikaners, Landgenote.png, has no resemblance to the Deutschlandlied, File:Nationalhymne der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.svg. Am I misreading the score? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:19, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael Bednarek: I'm not the most musically inclined but looking at the lower half of the Volk sheet (not the top one) it seems there are some minor key differences but look similar. You can certainly hear the similarity. I guess because its a loose translation, the tempo is slightly different too. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:50, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I compared the recording you gave and the notes again, and they are vastly different. The recording is indeed the melody of the "Deutschlandlied", but the score is unrelated, not even similar. This is leading voice from the sheet's bottom part:

\relative g' { \set Staff.midiInstrument = #"trumpet" \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t \tempo 4 = 108 \key g \major \time 4/4
{ d'4. g,8 g4 fis | d'4. g,8 g4 fis | g g g d'8 (c) | b (a2) r8 g8 | g1 \bar  ":|." } }
\addlyrics { A -- fri -- ka -- ners, Land -- ge no -- te, Wees ge -- treu -- aan Volk en Taal!}
Reading all the other voices on that sheet, I can't see any that would resemble the "Deutschlandlied". -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 08:40, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
