Hungarian National Anthem for String Orchestra

The title in the original manuscript is "Hymnus", a Latin word for 'hymn'. The Hungarian word himnusz is itself derived from the Latin word hymnus, which is in turn borrowed from Ancient Greek ῠ̔́μνος hýmnos, meaning 'song, hymn, ode' (generally in praise of gods or heroes); and in many languages of Europe, the word is used as a loanword to mean both 'hymn' and 'anthem'. The word himnusz replaced the original Latin word hymnus over time, and as the poem gained widespread acceptance as the de facto national anthem of Hungary, so too did the word himnusz took on the meaning of '(national) anthem
