The Story of the Famous Song: Italy's "National Anthem" "My Sun"

Ah, what a brilliant sunshine,

How clear the sky is after the storm has passed,

Fresh air, refreshing,

Ah, what a brilliant sunshine.

And there's a sun, more beautiful than that,

Ah, my sun, that is you.

......

Vocal lovers, when you recite this passionate phrase, your heart will naturally hum with that familiar tone. This song is the song "My Sun", which is known as the "national anthem" of Italy.

This song is a song from the Naples region of Italy, which has long been performed in concerts in various countries and has become a well-known world famous song. Many people always think that it is a Neapolitan folk song, but in fact, he is a authentic songwriting song.

"My Sun" composer is Capua. Because the tune of the song is rich in the folk song flavor of the Naples region, although the song was a song written, it was considered a folk song when it was widely circulated.

The song was originally performed at a folk song festival in Naples, Italy, and later became known as Italy's "national anthem" at an international sports event.

In 1940, before the end of World War II and the smoke of the war had not yet dissipated, the flag for the opening of the Games was slowly raised over the Helsinki Sports Field in Finland. Athletes from all over the world stepped into the sports field one after another to the sound of majestic music. According to international practice, all countries participating in the Games should provide the Assembly with the score of their national anthem in advance, perhaps because they were busy with other international affairs, and the Embassy of the Mussolini Government in Finland forgot to provide the Sports Congress with italy's "new national anthem", the so-called "national anthem" used by the fascist government. The person in charge of the Games may have been disgusted with Mussolini's government and did not bother to ask for a practical score of the "New National Anthem" for Italian athletes, so a dramatic historical event finally happened on the sports field.

When Miss Manners on the sports field held up a wooden sign with the abbreviation of the Italian national name and led the Italian athletes through the podium of the conference, the band conductor broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that on his conductor's score rack, there was no score of the Italian "New National Anthem"! How can this be done? Italian athletes can never be allowed to pass through the podium in silent music! So the band conductor was reminded of a popular Italian song "My Sun". So the conductor told the band members to play this piece of music in the Italian national style together to replace the "new national anthem" of the Italian fascist dictatorship.

When the band played the music of "My Sun", the entire sports field was first surprised, and then everyone immediately woke up: replacing Italy's "new national anthem" with "My Sun" is the most appropriate thing! As a result, athletes from all over the world, including Italian athletes and the staff present, have understood that they unanimously applauded warmly according to the beat of the music, invisibly tacitly acknowledging the special status of "My Sun" as the national anthem of Italy. Under the skillful gestures of the orchestra conductor, the sound of music and singing are harmonized and intertwined, reverberating for a long time in the air above the sports field in Helsinki... The song and the music struck the heartstrings of every athlete; the song and the music spread over the European continent, expelling the clouds of war brought about by fascism. Suddenly, people seem to find that the sky is exceptionally clear, the sun is brilliant, the air is exceptionally fresh, and the spirit is incomparably refreshing.

The song "My Sun" played a glorious role on the International Sports Stage of Helsinki Sports Field, representing the Italian people in a special anti-fascist propaganda. Because of this, "My Sun" not only deservedly won the crown of Italy's "national anthem", but also gained more widespread circulation among peace-loving people in Italy and the world.

Friends, when you listen to the Italian song "My Sun" again, you will not forget this extraordinary historical experience of it, and you will love to sing even more: "That is you" - "My Sun"!
