Does anyone now who Fernando Quijano is? His bio says he wrote this anthem but is not mentioned MeltBanana 23:54, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
1. That Uruguay has dropped the long form of its name 2. That Uruguay has renamed the national anthem "national anthem". -- M @ r ē ino 23:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC) 3. The article states that the theme of the national anthem comes from a Donezetti opera. Which opera? How? 67.180.178.79 ( talk) 14:56, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Saying "The national anthem of Uruguay is the national anthem of Uruguay" is completely redundant. Anybody here know the official name of the anthem? Isn't it "Orientales, la Patria o la tumba" ? If it doesn't have an official name, then we should start the article saying something like: "The National Anthem of Uruguay was composed by....etc etc" Frankman 14:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
It's official name actually is National Anthem of Uruguay, however is widely know as Orientales, la patria o la tumba, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.135.162.72 ( talk) 21:34, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Allegedly, he composed a national anthem for Uruguay. Anyone know anything about the circumstances, or what became of that anthem? Otto von B ( talk) 02:54, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
(Info/RS now inserted here.) 86.186.94.153 ( talk) 17:01, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Saint-Saëns made two visits to Uruguay and is sometimes credited with having composed the country's national anthem. The dovernment did, in fact, commission him to compose a hymn for the national day on 14 July. Subsequent political changes, however, and the elevation of 25 August as Uruguay's official independence day precluded Saint-Saëns's hymn from becoming the national anthem.
