Anthem - Austria
"Land of mountains, land on the river" is the name of the Anthem of Austria. In its natural language it is "Land der Berge, Lam am Strome" created by Paula van Preradović as an adaptation to the melody of the "Little Masonic Cantata" composed by Mozart in November 1791.
The hymn was declared official since 1947, replacing the old Austrian hymn "God save Francis the Emperor", composed in 1797 by Joseph Haydn.
