Tune of the Day: National Anthem of the Dominican Republic

arranged for flute and piano

Composer José Rufino Reyes y Siancas was inspired to create this national anthem for the Dominican Republic in 1882, after seeing the Argentine anthem in a newspaper.

The anthem is also known as “Quisqueyanos valientes”, after the first verse of the lyrics, although that was never the official title. Interestingly, the Spanish name of the Dominican Republic, “República Dominicana”, is never used in the anthem's official Spanish lyrics, nor is the word “dominicanos”. Rather, the anthem uses the indigenous word for the island of Hispaniola, “Quisqueya”.

Thanks to Leomar for suggesting this piece!
