Abridged sub-90 second version featuring only the chorus and first verse for occasions requiring brevity, such as soccer games.

The lyrics were written by General Juan José Cañas in 1856, with music composed by the Italian Juan Aberle in 1879. It was adopted on September 15, 1879, and officially approved by the regime on December 11, 1953.

Although there are three verses with the chorus interspersed throughout, only a single rendition of the chorus and first verse are commonly sung at many events, as a full performance can take more than four minutes to complete.

The composition has been likened to "William Tell Overture" by critics.^[1]

Regulation[]
