Sounds of Europa

[Sareval]

Through NS and these forums, I have definitely seen how our nations look, function, behave, etc. but I’m also curious to know how our nations sound. 

What is your country’s national anthem?

What do you imagine the region’s theme song/anthem to be?

What is/are the theme song(s) of your country?

What songs do you imagine playing in your head when you think of your country?

What background instrumental music would be playing during a video about your country?

What are the ambient sounds in your country?

What are the top hits that your populace listens to?

etc.

I’m sorry for ripping my anthem out of a... “controversial” anime, but the melody is just way too good.

”Toui Sora he” translates to something among the lines of “To the Far Sky” if I’m not horribly mistaken.

@Sunset Sea Islands that melody suits your country perfectly! Makes me think of tranquil vacation beaches. Definitely a suitable anthem. I imagine that not a lot of us are original composers so there will be definitely a lot of “inspiration” going on haha. I still have yet to determine what my country’s national anthem through.

Thr national anthem of the Euroführer. A bit fast paced, but shows the heart of our agicultural people.

Freedom's Sun.

@Orioni That anthem sounds very regal and professional. Did you have someone compose that for Orioni?

@Orioni Please tell me that that's your ringtone and that your phone is Orioni-styled in general.

@Synturia There is actually a second half to it, but that makes it too long.

@Sunset Sea Islands Of course, it is. Very much so.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Synturia has adopted this composition by Inon Zur as it’s national anthem:

@Orioni what’s the second half to the anthem? I’m curious to listen to the full theme

[Orioni]

@Synturia After the second high, it dips into a longer intermezzo, followed by a third, less bombastic crescendo. It don't like that part very much, so I cut it. Now, I can use the music as a nice metaphor for my national history. (Slow growth, first empire, civil war, second empire.)

@Orioni What’s the original title of the composition?

[Orioni]

@Synturia  That's a State Secret.  But in all seriousness: that's the name of the film I got the music from. I've never seen the film, but I came across some soundtrack collection of William Alwyn. And that's where I picked it up. The full version is up on YouTube, but you'll need a VPN set to USA to listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAE4KO6qtk8
