The "Boer National Hymn" is assumed to be the national anthem of the Transvaal (also known as the South African Republic) because no composer is listed. The other major Boer republic, the Orange Free State, also had an anthem (Vrystaatse Volkslied) with words by H. A. L. Hamelberg and music by W. F. G. Nicolaï. Both anthems were published in John Philip Sousa's "National, Patriotic and Typical Airs of all Lands" (1890).
