The National Anthem
Although the New Zealand broadcasting services have always used the "official version" of the National Anthem it was not until recently that the BBC played any thing but its own arrangement, which differed slightly from the regulation setting. Now Sir Granville Bantock has made for the BBC new arrangements of "God Save the King," as well as of the French and Polish national anthems, and his scores, based on official versions, which indicate ‘the correct tempo, etc., are to be used to the exclusion of all others, In general the NBS uses a version played by a military band from a score of the arrangement approved by His Majesty the King.
