This Dream of Ours

This Dream of Ours is the national anthem of Eltanin. It was composed by Jeremy Palethorpe in 1927.

Composition
Palethorpe wrote the anthem as a patriotic song for the peoples of his adopted homeland, Eltanin. It is written in quinpental form, a traditional music form to Eltanin. The number five is considered lucky in Eltaner folk music, where songs usually have five lines of music set over five-bar phrases. Palethorpe adopted this in the western Bach chorale style.

Lyrics
"This dream of ours precedes the glorious day,""When Eltanin's people sing freely their praises for ay;""Let not thy wonder forsake them in their land,""Let them sing praises and bow to thy mighty hand;""Winter or summer God speed to Eltanin."
