Patriotic ceremonial music
National anthems is the plural of national anthem, a patriotic song officially adopted to represent a country.
National anthems are played at government ceremonies, international sporting events, and other occasions calling for national identity: Athletes stood at attention while the national anthems played.
Some, like France's "La Marseillaise," are rousing and martial; others, like "God Save the King," are stately hymns.
