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 and still more particularly to a specific form of Anglican church music.
Anthem is derived from the Greek ἀντίφωνα (antíphōna) via Old English antefn. Both words originally referred to antiphons, a call-and-response style of singing. The adjectival form is "anthemic".
Anthems were originally a form of liturgical music. In the Church of England, the rubric appoints them to follow the third collect at morning and evening prayer. Several anthems are included in the British coronation service. The words are selected from Holy Scripture or in some cases from the Liturgy and the music is generally more elaborate and varied than that of psalm or hymn tunes. Being written for a trained choir rather than the congregation, the Anglican anthem is analogous to the motet of the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches but represents an essentially English musical form. Anthems may be described as "verse", "full", or "full with verse", depending on whether they are intended for soloists, the full choir, or both.
"Anthem" is a song from the concept album and subsequent musical Chess by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. The song describes the feelings of Soviet Russian challenger, Anatoly Sergievsky, when he defects. The song was originally sung by Tommy Körberg on the original concept album]] and as Anatoly in the original West End cast. It was later covered by various artists including Josh Groban on his album Stages and Kerry Ellis.
Distracted by the loss of Florence's love, Freddie flounders in the chess tournament, leaving himself just one more loss away from losing his title. Florence leaves Freddie, who sends The Arbiter a letter of resignation, resulting in Anatoly's becoming the new world champion. Anatoly immediately defects from the Soviet Union and seeks asylum at the British embassy. Florence, accompanies Anatoly, reflecting on their newfound romance. Walter tips off the press about this scandal. When the mob of reporters ambush Anatoly to ask why he is deserting his country, he tells them in this song that he will never truly leave his country because his land's only borders lie around his heart.
"Anthem" is a song by American heavy metal band Iced Earth from their album Dystopia. Since its release it has become one of the most popular tracks of the album. The song "Anthem" was described by vocalist Stu Block as a celebration of "people, the human spirit and life". A shorter version the song was also featured on the extended play 5 Songs which was released on September 19, 2011.
Produced and directed by Kosch Fabian Film, the music video for "Anthem", was released on January 24, 2012. The video was filmed at the Essigfabrik in Cologne, Germany on December 7, 2011, during the band's Dystopia World Tour. It switches between live scenes and the band on the road which are in filmed in black and white.
Jon Schaffer commented on the video on Century Media Records:
Caj Källmalmm, from Swedish website Hallowed named "Anthem" as one the album's best songs and Chad Bowar from About described it as "appropriately enough, anthemic." Keith Chachkes of Metal Army America also called "Anthem" "a rousing call to arms against hypocrisy and sycophants who seem to be overrunning the world these days."
Unbroken is the third studio album by Irish boy band D-Side. The album was released on October 25, 2006 in Japan, and later released via the iTunes Store worldwide on March 3, 2008. The album peaked at number 58 on the Japanese album charts. Two singles were released from the album: the title track, "Unbroken", and "Let Me Be the One" (which serves as a promotional release only; no official music video was recorded for the song).
"No One" was an unreleased track written by Bryan Adams. The album features writing contributions from a number of well-known songwriters, including two songs penned by Steve Mac and Wayne Hector ("Missing You" and "Then You Kissed Me"; the latter of which was an unreleased song by fellow boyband Westlife). The album's title track was also co-written by Phil Thornalley, famous for his work on Natalie Imbruglia's debut "Left of the Middle". The band co-wrote the mid-tempo ballad "Fly" with songwriter Kai McKenzie, who produced several tracks for the album. The original Japanese release includes four tracks omitted from the worldwide digital release, including the Mac-Hector "Then You Kissed Me".
Unbroken is the second full length release from Canadian heavy metal band A Perfect Murder.
Unbroken is the fourth studio album by Julie Elias. She released the album on September 8, 2015.
Awarding the album three and a half stars from New Release Today, Caitlin Lassiter states, "One of the strongest points in Unbroken is that the album offers a variation of styles, with rock, pop and worship all being represented. Another great aspect of the album is Julie's songwriting, which shines a deep vulnerability that's rare and appreciated. Being a relatively new indie artist, Julie is just getting started in the CCM industry, but with the elements she displays in Unbroken, it's clear that she has big things ahead." Jonathan Andre, giving the album four and a half stars at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, writes, "the album is great production-wise. With powerful drums and a vocal that I reckon is one of the most underrated in the Christian indie music industry; Julie’s new album is one to treasure if you are a fan of indie worship music, CCM, pop, or a combination of the three."
Sign is the seventh album by Clock DVA, released on August 3, 1993 through Contempo Records.
All songs written and composed by Robert Baker and Adi Newton.

double hellix performed in live by anthem. Music : Anthem
http://www.deaf-angel.blogspot.com/2014/01/anthem-live-unbroken-at-club-citta.html -review I was watching this latest release from Anthem on blueray/dvd called Live Unbroken Live Club Citta 27.07.13. Thought this shows a bit of why I like Anthem with Eizo Sakamoto/Akio Shimizu/Naoto Shibata. The live show is awesome, brilliant, and the documentary that comes with it even has footage of interview with a doctor. I guess something to do with the bassist? I dont understand Japanese.
Firstly apologies, I have a copy of blue-ray using a stand alone player. So I can only record a bit of these using my handphone. The original disc has amazing content. This dont represent at all the pristine quality of Anthem's original release. - This is ending of Venom Strike on the latest Anthem release Live Unbroken. Followed by Naoto Shibata's Bass Solo.
A few words from the SAMSA team: "What started with the germ of an idea in the corner of a college-classroom took years of relentless effort to grow into a family, bound by the thirst for knowledge and the passion to serve. The South Asian Medical Students' Association has aspired to foster a sense of togetherness among the community of medical students and to create an environment where curiosity thrives. 'Service with Conscience, Knowledge With Purpose' - with our motto being the goal that we shall always keep working towards, we present to you the official anthem of the organization! Titled 'Unbroken', this brilliant composition by 22 Days raises a toast to the hard-work put forth by our seniors to take SAMSA to the heights that it has reached today. The name '22 Days' shall ring a be...
