Gloria al Bravo Pueblo

"Glory to the Brave People" is the national anthem of Venezuela. A President of Venezuela, Antonio Guzmán Blanco, made it the country's national anthem on May 25, 1881. A while before that, lyrics and music were made for it. The words of the song were written by a journalist named Vicente Salias in 1810, and the melody for his words was later composed by a musician named Juan José Landaeta. It is said, however, that the melody has been known since 1840 as "The Venezuelan Marseillaise", in reference the French national anthem.Efemérides: 25 de mayo de 1881, Himno Nacional de Venezuela.

Venezuela also has a flag anthem, titled "Himno a la Bandera de Venezuela".https://lyricstranslate.com/es/himno-la-bandera-paean-flag.html

who shook off the yoke,
The law respecting,
virtue and honour. 𝄇 

𝄆 "Down with chains!" 𝄇
𝄆 Shouted the Lord; 𝄇
And the poor man in his hovel
For Freedom implored.
Upon this holy name
Trembled in great dread
The vile selfishness
That had once prevailed.

Trembled in great dread

Chorus

𝄆 Let’s scream out aloud: 𝄇
𝄆 "Death to oppression!" 𝄇
Oh, loyal countrymen:
Strength is unity;
And from the Empyrean
The Supreme Author
A sublime spirit
To the people blew;
𝄆 And from the Empyrean 𝄇
The Supreme Author
𝄆 A sublime spirit
To the people blew. 𝄇

Chorus

𝄆 United by bonds 𝄇
𝄆 That Heaven has formed, 𝄇
The entire America
Exists as a Nation;
And if ever despotism
Raises again its voice,
Then follow the example
That Caracas gave;
𝄆 And if ever despotism 𝄇
Raises again its voice,
𝄆 Then follow the example
That Caracas gave. 𝄇

 Usage 
The Venezuelan national anthem is played every day on radio and television broadcasts at 12:00 am, 6:00 am and 12:00 pm (either the full version or the chorus, first stanza and chorus) on all national TV networks. On radio broadcasts, the state anthem is played after the national anthem, which is also the case in state TV stations. 

In most occasions, only the chorus, first stanza and the chorus are played or even the chorus itself. Sometimes the chorus is played twice in the beginning, and once in the rest of the anthem. In formal events (if the anthem will be played by either a military band, concert band or orchestra) the format is: Chorus (2x), First verse and Chorus (2x), with the optional introduction. If played in full the chorus is sung twice, with or without the introductiory notes.
