Untitled[edit]

Does anyone now who Fernando Quijano is? His bio says he wrote this anthem but is not mentioned MeltBanana 23:54, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

His bio says he co-composed the national anthem.Rmpfu89 14:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy dispute[edit]

There are no sources to verify the claims:

1. That Uruguay has dropped the long form of its name 2. That Uruguay has renamed the national anthem "national anthem". --M @r ē ino 23:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC) 3. The article states that the theme of the national anthem comes from a Donezetti opera. Which opera? How?67.180.178.79 (talk) 14:56, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I'm quite curious about which opera this comes from as well. I heard the anthem at the World Cup this summer and the first thing that popped into my head was bel canto (I would have guessed Rossini, but that's only because I've heard more of his operas).DavidRF (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found a link that implies it might be connected to one of the numbers in Lucrezia Borgia (opera). [1]. I'm not familiar with that opera so I wouldn't be able to recognize a direct connection.DavidRF (talk) 17:44, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First Sentence[edit]

Saying "The national anthem of Uruguay is the national anthem of Uruguay" is completely redundant. Anybody here know the official name of the anthem? Isn't it "Orientales, la Patria o la tumba" ? If it doesn't have an official name, then we should start the article saying something like: "The National Anthem of Uruguay was composed by....etc etc" Frankman 14:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's official name actually is National Anthem of Uruguay, however is widely know as Orientales, la patria o la tumba, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.135.162.72 (talk) 21:34, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

execution or performance?[edit]

The section "Public execution lyrics", unless they are sung only at hangings, might be better as "Public performance lyrics". Does this make sense?

LOL! I agree. Changed it. Frankman 21:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Camille Saint-Saens?[edit]

Allegedly, he composed a national anthem for Uruguay. Anyone know anything about the circumstances, or what became of that anthem? Otto von B (talk) 02:54, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~An (anachronistic) case of mistaken identity, or some kind of in-joke perhaps?~~ (Saint-Saens [1835-1921] did apparently visit Uruguay sometime around 1916.) Per Panizza[2], Antonio Sáenz[3], a Spanish-born composer who settled in Uruguay, composed one of the scores that were eventually discarded. 86.182.104.165 (talk) 19:08, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per a helpful piece in the BBC Music magazine,
Saint-Saëns made two visits to Uruguay and is sometimes credited with having composed the country's national anthem. The dovernment did, in fact, commission him to compose a hymn for the national day on 14 July. Subsequent political changes, however, and the elevation of 25 August as Uruguay's official independence day precluded Saint-Saëns's hymn from becoming the national anthem.
