Who composed and wrote 'God Save The King/Queen'?

'God Save The Queen/King' was first published in 1744, during the reign of George II. It is not known who wrote the lyrics or composed the tune, but Percy Scholes, in The Oxford Companion to Music, points out similarities to a keyboard piece by John Bull (1619) , and a piece by Henry Purcell, which includes the opening notes of the modern tune. The lyrics could have been inspired by the King James Bible, where the phrase 'God save the King, Long live the King' appears in the Book of Kings, Chapter 1.

Here is a more detailed guide to the origins of 'God Save The King/Queen'

What are the lyrics to 'God Save The Queen/King'?

Did you know...?

...When 'God Save The King' was first sang during the reign of George II the lyrics mentioned George in the first line 'God save great George our king'? This was alright for George's II, III and IV, but led to problems when William (IV) and Victoria came to the throne, (try singing it with their names!) so it was changed to 'God save our gracious King/Queen'

...Liechtenstein's national anthem "Oben am jungen Rhein' uses the same melody?

Does the King sing 'God Save The Queen/King'?

No the King don't sing the National Anthem as it would be fairly strange to ask God to save yourself!
