    "Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia" (or "Voices of Rhodesia") was the national anthem of Rhodesia and Zimbabwe Rhodesia (renamed Zimbabwe in April 1980) between 1974 and 1979. The tune was that of "Ode to Joy", the Fourth Movement from Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which had been adopted as the official European continental anthem by the Council of Europe in 1972 (it remains the European Union's anthem today). The music used in Rhodesia was an original sixteen-bar arrangement by Captain Ken MacDonald, the bandmaster of the Rhodesian African Rifles. A national competition was organised by the government to find an appropriate set of lyrics to match the chosen tune, and won by Mary Bloom of Gwelo.
    In the fallout from Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence from the United Kingdom on 11 November 1965, the country still claimed loyalty to Queen Elizabeth II as its professed head of state, and so retained "God Save the Queen" as its national anthem. With Rhodesia's reconstitution in 1970 as a republic, however, the royal anthem was dropped along with many other references to the monarchy, leaving it without a national anthem until it adopted "Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia" in 1974. The national anthem lost its legal status in December 1979, when the United Kingdom retook interim control of the country pending its internationally recognised independence as Zimbabwe five months later. Rhodesia's use of the well-known Beethoven tune has since caused the playing of "Ode to Joy" to be controversial in modern-day Zimbabwe.

    Rhodesia, a noble kingdom that comes from fairy tales. Our cruel and hypocritical world doesn’t deserve to have Rhodesia. We failed them, that is the tragic lose for humanity. ❤

      Rhodesia existed before EU. Ode to Joy was adopted by the Council of Europe in 1972 and by the EEC, the predecessor of the EU, in 1985. Rise o voices of Rhodesia was adopted in 1974. The EU adopted it at its foundation in 2002

      The EU is not and never has been a sovereign nation but it's a members club of different countries who all have their own National Anthems. The EU aspires to be a United States of Europe with it's own Anthem, Constitution and armed forces. I'm certain no one voted for that.

      Not really. Rhodesia was never nazi. It was a white minority government based on wealth. It was a normal democracy however crybaby Britain didnt accept its independence because it wasn't woke. Many neonazi's do favor Rhodesia because it had the best army in the world and was very good at defeating commies.
