La Borinqueña is the commonwealth anthem〔Ray Quintanilla. "From rebel to peacemaker." The Chicago Tribune. 9 January 2006〕 of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. After Puerto Rico became the "The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico" in 1952,〔()〕 the first elected governor, Luis Muñoz Marín, signed law #2 of July 24, 1952 that stated that the musical composition known as "La Borinqueña" was to become the official anthem of Puerto Rico. The words that go with the composition were approved by governor Carlos Romero Barceló on July 27, 1977, law #123.〔(La Fortaleza, Simbolos Patrios: Himno de Puerto Rico ). Retrieved: February 23, 2008. 〕 The title refers to the aboriginal Taíno name for the island of Puerto Rico, ''Borinkén'' or ''Borinquén'' The music was originally credited to Félix Astol Artés in 1867 as an habanera danza, with romantic lyrics, but there is some evidence that Francisco Ramírez, a native of San Germán, wrote the music〔 in 1860, and named it ''"La Almojábana"''.〔(Notas de la danza: La Borinqueña )〕 In 1868, Lola Rodríguez de Tió wrote a poem in support of the Puerto Rican revolution, which was set to the Ramirez/Astol Artés music. In fear of investigation by the Spanish insular government, Ramirez asked Astól to claim authorship of the music since he was a native of Catalonia and would therefore raise no suspicion.〔 After the cession of the island to the United States, the popular revolutionary lyrics of Lola Rodríguez de Tió were deemed too subversive for official adoption; therefore, a non-confrontational set of lyrics were written in 1903 by Asturias-born Manuel Fernández Juncos. The tune was officially adopted as the Commonwealth's anthem in 1952 by governor Luis Muñoz Marín, and the words were officially adopted in 1977 by governor Carlos Romero Barceló. The official version is played as a slow march, without the original tune's initial ''paseo''. Per the request of the new government, Ramón Collado rearranged the music in 1952 into a more military tune. Luis Miranda, the musical director of Puerto Rico's 65th Infantry Regiment Band, adapted the tune to be played as a march in 1922. The 1977 law that adopted the words as an anthem merely stated that the anthem be played as a march, the tempo vaguely described as being in a "martial manner", but established no official arrangement for the music. An official revision made in 2003 leaves the tune as a march. In 2012, Dr. Yajaira Sierra Sastre, an aspiring astronaut, collaborated in a variety of projects with the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network and the Cornell Nanoscale Facility, which included writing the smallest national anthem ever written, ''La Borinqueña Más Pequeña'' 〔("La Borinqueña’ más pequeña"; El Nuevo Dia )〕 ==Official Anthem of Puerto Rico== (lyrics by Manuel Fernández Juncos, 1903) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Borinqueña」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
