An anthem is a musical composition that is often associated with a particular group, organization, or nation. It typically conveys a sense of pride and unity, serving as a rallying cry for its members. National anthems, for example, are played at official events and ceremonies to evoke feelings of patriotism among citizens. Anthems can also be found in various contexts, such as sports, where they energize fans and players alike. In addition to national anthems, there are anthems for social movements, like the Civil Rights Movement, which use music to inspire and mobilize people toward a common cause.
