This four-page musical note for the national anthem of Korea is composed of full notes for orchestra and notes for a choir accompanied by a piano. It was handwritten by An Ik-tae, who composed the national anthem of Korea. The twenty measures are contained in three pages of orchestral notes, while the remaining page contains 4-part and 16 measures of notes for a choir. It also contains the first and second verses of the national anthem currently used in Korea, and is dated April 18, 1949. The composer’s bereaved family donated it to the Independence Hall of Korea.
