"Land of the Free" is the national anthem of Belize. The words were written by Samuel Alfred Haynes in 1929 based upon Haynes poem “Land of the Gods.” The musical arrangement for “Land of the Gods,” was composed with Selwyn Walford Young in 1930.
In 1929, he composed the words of a poem named "Land of the Gods". In 1930 with the assistance of Selvyn Young, “Land of the Gods,” was composed into a musical arrangement, first used in 10th of September celebrations before becoming Belize's national anthem, "Land of the Free". [1] [2]
In 1981 this song was adopted as Belize's national anthem, with the minor alteration of changing the words "Land of the Gods" to "Land of the Free". [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] This was done without consulting Young or Haynes, and without regard to international copyright status of the song.
