GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED - Manchester United Anthem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_Glory_(football_chant)#:~:text=It%20uses%20a%20popular%20camp,adaptation)%20of%20the%20favoured%20team.

"Glory Glory" is a terrace chant sung in association football in the United Kingdom and in other sport. It uses a popular camp meeting hymn tune of unknown origin that is famously associated with the marching song "John Brown's Body", with the chorus "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" – the chant replaces "Hallelujah" with the name (or a four-syllable adaptation) of the favoured team. The chant's popularity has caused several clubs to release their version as an official team song.


As the "John Brown's Body" song

"John Brown's Body" (originally known as "John Brown's Song") is a United States marching song about the abolitionist John Brown. The song was popular in the Union during the American Civil War. The song arose out of the folk hymn tradition of the American camp meeting movement of the late 18th and early 19th century. According to an 1889 account, the original John Brown lyrics were a collective effort by a group of Union soldiers who were referring both to the famous John Brown and also, humorously, to a Sergeant John Brown of their own battalion. Various other authors have published additional verses or claimed credit for originating the John Brown lyrics and tune.

The "flavor of coarseness, possibly of irreverence" led many of the era to feel uncomfortable with the earliest "John Brown" lyrics. This in turn led to the creation of many variant versions of the text that aspired to a higher literary quality. The most famous of these is Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic", which was written when a friend suggested, "Why do you not write some good words for that stirring tune?" Kimball suggests that President Lincoln made this suggestion to Howe, though other sources do not agree on this point.

Numerous informal versions and adaptations of the lyrics and music have been created from the mid-1800s to the present, making "John Brown's Body" an example of a living folk music tradition.

Manchester United

"Glory Glory Man United" was a single released by the Manchester United squad prior to the 1983 FA Cup Final. It was written by Frank Renshaw, who was a member of Herman's Hermits in the 1970s and 1980s. It was recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport with the football team and some of Renshaw's friends – Renshaw's son Lee also sang on the recording

Manchester United fans have been singing this song since 1983. In the 1990s, it became popular among opposition supporters to manipulate the words of the song when playing Manchester United to "Who the fuck are Man United?" (¿Quiénes carajo son el Man United?), which Man United supporters sarcastically sung themselves after scoring, or while winning, against a rival team.

Glory Glory Man United was also the name of the official club poster magazine, launched in 1994 and published every four weeks, totalling 13 issues a year. In 2007 its average reader age was 13 years 2 months.

In 2007, a full length versión (versión completa) of "Glory Glory Man United" was written and recorded by "The World Red Army", and produced by Will Robinson and Michael Graves. It became the official song at Old Trafford. A follow-up version titled "Glory Glory Man United 2" was released a decade later with some lyrical changes to reflect the current United team.

A continuación dejo las letras de las canciones mencionadas que han sido la base del himno del Manchester United.

Pete Seeger John Brown s body

Pete Seeger, an American folk musician, recorded a version of John Brown's Body in 1959 that is widely circulated today. The lyrics differ significantly from earlier versions, and include a stanza from Battle Hymn Of The Republic, itself an 1862 adaptation of John Brown's Body written by abolitionist Julia Ward Howe.

 

John Brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave (x3)
But his soul goes marching on.

Glory, glory hallelujah! (x3)
But his soul goes marching on.

The stars above in heaven are a-looking kindly down (x3)
On the grave of old John Brown.

Glory, glory hallelujah! (x3)
His soul goes marching on.

He captured Harper's Ferry with his nineteen men so true
He frightened old Virginia till she trembled through and through
They hanged him for a traitor, they themselves the traitor crew
His soul goes marching on!

Glory, glory hallelujah! (x3)
His soul goes marching on.

Well he's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord (x2)
But his soul goes marching on!

Glory, glory hallelujah! (x3)
His soul goes marching on.

Mine eyes hath seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath is stored
He'th loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on!

Glory, glory hallelujah! (x3)
His soul goes marching on.


Glory, Glory Hallelujah

The "Battle Hymn of the Republic", also known as "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" or "Glory, Glory Hallelujah" outside of the United States, is an American patriotic song that was written by abolitionist writer Julia Ward Howe during the American Civil War.

Howe adapted her song from the soldiers' song "John Brown's Body" in November 1861, and first published it in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. In contrast to the lyrics of the soldiers’ song, her version links the Union cause with God's vengeance at the Day of Judgment (through allusions to biblical passages such as Isaiah 63:1–6, Revelation 19 and Revelation 14:14–19).

Julia Ward Howe was married to Samuel Gridley Howe, a scholar in education of the blind. Both Samuel and Julia were also active leaders in anti-slavery politics and strong supporters of the Union. Samuel was a member of the Secret Six, the group who funded John Brown's work.

 

As the "John Brown's Body" song

At a flag-raising ceremony at Fort Warren near Boston, Massachusetts, on Sunday, May 12, 1861, the song "John Brown's Body", using the "Oh! Brothers" tune and the "Glory, Hallelujah" chorus, was publicly played "perhaps for the first time"  The American Civil War  had begun the previous month.

Lyrics

Howe submitted the lyrics she wrote to The Atlantic Monthly, and it was first published in the February 1862 issue of the magazine.


First published version

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where 
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling 
camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have read a fiery 
gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal";
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before 
His judgment-seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that 
transfigures you and me.
As He died to make men holylet us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.

* Some modern performances and recordings of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" use the lyric "As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free" as opposed to the wartime lyric originally written by Julia Ward Howe: "let us die to make men free."


La Guerra Civil Estadounidense (12 de abril de 1861 – 26 de mayo de 1865; también conocida con otros nombres) fue una guerra civil en los Estados Unidos entre la Unión[e] ("el Norte") y la Confederación ("el Sur") , que había sido formado por estados que se habían separado de la Unión. La causa central de la guerra fue la disputa sobre si se permitiría que la esclavitud se expandiera a los territorios occidentales, dando lugar a más estados esclavistas, o si se le impediría hacerlo, lo que muchos creían que colocaría a la esclavitud en un camino de extinción definitiva. ]

 

Décadas de controversia política sobre la esclavitud llegaron a un punto crítico con la victoria en las elecciones presidenciales estadounidenses de 1860 de Abraham Lincoln, quien se opuso a la expansión de la esclavitud en los territorios occidentales. Siete estados esclavistas del sur respondieron a la victoria de Lincoln separándose de los Estados Unidos y formando la Confederación.

Los estados que se separaron de los Estados Unidos en 1861 (Carolina del Sur, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Luisiana y Texas) formaron los Estados Confederados de América, también conocidos como 'C.S.A' o 'Confederación'.

La Confederación se apoderó de fuertes estadounidenses y otros activos federales dentro de sus fronteras. La guerra comenzó cuando el 12 de abril de 1861, las tropas confederadas dispararon contra Fort Sumter en el puerto de Charleston en Carolina del Sur. Una ola de entusiasmo por la guerra se extendió tanto por el Norte como por el Sur, a medida que se disparaba el reclutamiento. Los estados de la región fronteriza indecisa tuvieron que elegir bando, aunque Kentucky se declaró neutral. Cuatro estados más del sur se separaron después de que comenzó la guerra y, encabezada por el presidente confederado Jefferson Davis, la Confederación afirmó el control sobre aproximadamente un tercio de la población estadounidense en once estados. Siguieron cuatro años de intensos combates, principalmente en el Sur.
