The song has only been the country's
official anthem since 1981 when it replaced another sung to the tune
of Britain's "God Save The Queen" which understandably
caused some confusion.
A total of 129 entries were received in
German and 69 in its second tongue, French. Italian-speakers
submitted seven, while 10 were written in the country's fourth
official langue Rumantsch.
A jury made up of politicians,
musicians, journalists and members of yodel clubs, choirs and sports
associations will pick the 10 best entries, which will be posted
online next year for the public to choose the top three, which will
be performed at a national music festival in September 2015, when
spectators and television viewers will vote for a winner.
This is the kind of project I love. I
mixed my writing skills with my love of playing piano, singing and
dabbling with GarageBand on the Mac. I submitted my entry in French
as I have a greater knowledge of this than German, having worked in
the Correze for 6 months as a teenager. I’ll let you know if I make
it to the top 10!
