"Hail! South Dakota!" is the regional anthem of South Dakota, selected by popular vote as the official state song. It was written and composed by DeeCort Hammitt (1893-1970). Lyrics Hail! South Dakota! a great state of the land; Health, wealth and beauty, that's what makes her grand; She has her Black Hills, and mines with gold so rare, And with her scenery, no other state can compare. Come where the sun shines, and where life's worth your while; You won't be here long, till you'll wear a smile; No state's so healthy, and no folk quite so true. To South Dakota we welcome you. Hail! South Dakota! the state we love the best, Land of our fathers, builders of the west; Home of the Badlands, and Rushmore's ageless shrine, Black Hills and prairies, farmland and sunshine. Hills, farms and prairies, blessed with bright sunshine. Notes References 1943 songs Music of South Dakota Songs about South Dakota South Dakota Coyotes Symbols of South Dakota South Dakota ...

Regional Anthem
An anthem is a musical composition of celebration, usually used as a symbol for a distinct group, particularly the national anthems of countries. Originally, and in music theory and religious contexts, it also refers more particularly to short sacred choral work (still frequently seen in Sacred Harp and other types of shape note singing) and still more particularly to a specific form of liturgical music. In this sense, its use began ca. 1550 in English-speaking churches; it uses English language words, in contrast to the originally Roman Catholic 'motet' which sets a Latin text. Etymology ''Anthem'' is derived from the Greek (''antíphōna'') via Old English . Both words originally referred to antiphons, a call-and-response style of singing. The adjectival form is "anthemic".

Several anthems are included in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
