An anthem is a musical composition of celebration, usually used as a symbol for a distinct group, particularly the national anthems of countries.

In this sense, its use began in English-speaking churches; it uses English language words, in contrast to the originally Roman Catholic 'motet' which sets a Latin text. Etymology ''Anthem'' is derived from the Greek (''antíphōna'') via Old English . Both words originally referred to antiphons, a call-and-response style of the singing.
