Slovenia and Zdravljica

The Anthems Podcast

Today's episode of the Anthems podcast delves into the story behind Slovenia's national anthem, "Straulitza," a song rooted in themes of unity, freedom, and national pride. The anthem, which draws inspiration from the ideals of the French Revolution, was composed by poet Franz Preseren in 1844 and later set to music by Stanko Premrl. Patrick explores Slovenia's rich cultural history, including its tumultuous past under various empires and the evolution of its national identity leading up to independence. He highlights how the anthem symbolizes a collective call for solidarity among Slovenians and reflects their aspirations for peace and cooperation. As we journey through Slovenia's history, we also discover the personal stories of the individuals who shaped its literary and musical landscape, culminating in a celebration of national spirit.
