Battle Hymn of the Republic

Japanese: リパブリック賛歌 - リパブリックさんか(英語表記)Battle Hymn of the Republic
Battle Hymn of the Republic
A beloved American song. It is also familiar in Japan as the verse of the song "A Tadpole is a Frog's Child." In the early days of the Civil War, the Union Army loved to sing "John Brown's Body," named after the abolitionist J. Brown. In 1861, poet J.W. Howe, who visited a Union Army camp near Washington, wrote the words to the melody of this song, which became "The Republic Hymn." It was published in the Atlantic Monthly the following year, and became a favorite song of the Union Army.

アメリカの国民的愛唱歌。日本でも〈おたまじゃくしはかえるの子〉という歌の節として親しまれている。南北戦争初期,北軍は奴隷廃止論者J.ブラウンにちなむ《ジョン・ブラウンズ・ボディ》を愛唱したが,1861年ワシントン近郊の北軍キャンプを訪れた詩人J.W.ハウが,この歌の旋律に合わせて作詞したのが《リパブリック賛歌》である。翌年《アトランティック・マンスリー》誌に発表され,北軍側の愛唱歌としてひろまった。
