1897 Transvaal Volkslied - National Hymn of the South African Republic


Published by R. Muller, Cape Town, in 1897, before the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War.

Large format, with portraits of Presidents Pretorius, Kruger and Burgers of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, and a beautifully rendered coat of arms of the ZAR, on the front cover.  Four pages, intact, condition as pictured.

Written and composed by Catharina van Rees in 1875, and presented to president Thomas Burgers during his 1875/6 visit to Europe.  Quoted from Die nuwe brandwag. Tydskrif vir kuns en lettere. Jaargang 1930: 'Die Transvaalse Volkslied .. Op 13 September 1875, toe Catharina van Rees in Bonn gewoon het, verskyn President Burgers onverwags by haar, dezelfde vroolijke, hartelijke vriend van vroeger. Na eenig heen en weer spreken zeide hij lachend: En nu moet je een Lied maken voor mijn volk, wil je? Richard Holl en tal van andere Hollandsche Componisten hebben mij hun proeven gezonden, maar die kan ik voor mijn volk niet gebruiken. Je kunt mij echter helpen, wil je? Ik moet nu van avond naar Berlijn, blijf er twee dagen en kom dan 't Lied halen. Sy het eers beswaar gemaak. Van haar vroegste jeug af het sy die geskiedenis van die Boere met belangstelling gevolg, en deur haar vader as ook deur 'n tante van haar wat in die Kaap gewoon het, en die eienares was van Grote Schuur, het sy baie omtrent Suid-Afrika gehoor. Maar 'n volkslied vir die Boere, en dit in twee dae tyds! Sy wou beswaar maak, maar die Boere President is weg naar Berlijn, en sou die Volkslied kom haal! President Burgers was op 14 Oktober weer bij Catharina van Rees te Bonn. Sy het hom die Volkslied oorhandig. In ongeveer ses uur het sy dit gemaak. Nie alleen die woorde het sy aan die President oorhandig nie, maar ook die toonsetting'.
