![]() ![]() ![]() The second and current Chilean national anthem was composed by the Spanish composer Ramón Carnicer, when he was exiled in England because of his liberal ideas. This first hymn was sung until 1828, when it was replaced with what is sung today. The doctor Bernardo Vera, known in the history of the independence, was the author of the verses that were sung to Robles' music. The custom of always singing it at the theater slowly disappeared, until it was requested that it only be sung at the anniversary of the country. In the beginning, everyone would stand for the song. The composer Manuel Robles and the poet Bernardo de Vera y Pintado fulfilled this mandate and their "National Song" debuted on 20 August 1820 in the Domingo Arteaga theater, although other historians claim that it was played and sung during the festivities of September 1819. The first Chilean national anthem dates back to 1819, when the government called for, on 13 January, the creation of music and lyrics for this purpose.
