- help
The Lebanese National Anthem (Arabic: النشيد الوطني اللبناني, an-Našīd al-Waṭanī al-Lubnānī), officially known as "Koullouna lilouaṭaan lil oula lil alam", was written by Rashid Nakhle and composed by Wadih Sabra. It was adopted on 12 July 1927, seven years after the proclamation of the state of Greater Lebanon during the French mandate.
History
The Lebanese national anthem was chosen following an open nationwide competition. The result of the contest was published in newspapers.
Composition
The music of the national anthem is influenced by Beirut's exposure to Western culture by the end of the 19th century. It was composed by French-trained artist Wadia Sabra in 1925.[1] Rasha Al Karam of Al Jadid TV aired a mini-documentary about the Lebanese National Anthem, claiming that the music originated from a song dedicated to Abd el-Krim, President of the Republic of the Rif, and composed by Lebanese Mohammed Flayfel.
