European Anthem - Latin
 
The only language for a common European anthem not likely to arouse rivalry among the different nations is Latin. Moreover, it is a clear and pleasant-sounding language that may well be regarded as the one mother tongue of all Europeans.
 
That is why the text to be sung to the official tune of the European Anthem (from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony) has been written in Latin, beginning with the words "Est Europa nunc unita". The complete text, as well as an approximate translation into the 20 official EU languages, can be found at  <http://www.hymnus-europae.at/> www.hymnus-europae.at. Romano Prodi expressed the wish that the Latin anthem may become a second national anthem to all European citizens.
 
The Vienna-based publishing house Doblinger has now published the sheets of music (European Anthem for a mixed a cappella choir - 1-4 voices; optional piano), which are internationally available in music stores. They can also be ordered through  <mailto:chor at doblinger.at> chor at doblinger.at (order number 44 781: ISMN M-012-19562-7).
 
There is also a package containing the sheet of music and a CD of the European Anthem recorded by the renowned a cappella choir "Wiener Singverein". This package can be ordered free of charge by e-mail to  <mailto:p.roland at roland.at> p.roland at roland.at.
