Now if only Esperanto could have an anthem like that!

Ever heard of La Espero?

Indeed I have. When I said "an anthem like that", what I meant was "a good one", as opposed to La Espero, which is an awful one (IMO).

It is similar in that it is best sung in choir and has a slightly communist tone to it, but I agree that it is not a artistic masterpiece.
As a side note, the youth movement has developed its own shout:

"Esperanto! Estas nova kanto! Mia, kaj via, la lingv' internacia!"

Best sung in large groups on crowded city squares.

Rogir:"Esperanto! Estas nova kanto!"
Aaaaah, thanks, I finally understood. I heard this sentence as “Esperanto estas nova kanto”, and I thought “How the hell can a language be a song?”

Actually, I always hear it as 'Esperanto estas nova kanto'. I suppose it is meant in a figurative way. Anyway, have a video of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSntXW9Jbnk

There's an alternate tune to "La Espero" that some people like a lot better. But I've never heard the alternate, so I couldn't say whether I like it better or not.

"La Espero" doesn't have such an exciting tune but in my mind, it's no better or worse than most national anthems. Rarely do I hear a national anthem whose tune I actually enjoy; most countries seem to pick the most boring, undistinguished tune that they can possibly find! I think that the Israeli anthem is my favorite of all the ones I have heard.

Well, I find the anthems of Hungary, Germany, Greece, the EU, the already mentioned Soviet Union, Romania, Ukraine as rich, potent melodies I have quite enjoyed. Usually I notice that most classical music and opera is a *lot* less inspiring than most national anthems.

Now that's a boring anthem! Not as dull as the Japanese, but still it's one of the least uplifting melodies I have heard, especially compared with the anthems of Spain, the Netherlands, or China. Oh well, quite different tastes indeed ridulo.gif

I do like Israel's, and also Romania's, the United States', and also France's, Germany's and the United Kingdom's—and Wales'. Even to some extent Esperanto's. The People's Republic of China's is a little propagandistic, but it has its charm.

So I would say, I do sort of like anthems in general.

There are national anthems I've enjoyed listening to as music, as a matter of personal taste, not ideology. For example, I've enjoyed the East German - as others have said, we can reject Communism as an ideology, yet find its music stirring. I've also enjoyed that of Tsarist Russia and the Prayer of Russians, on the tune of the last of which the British national anthem is based.
