Written for flute and piano, this is my simplified take on the Greenlandic national anthem, "Nunarput utoqqarsuanngoravit." (It translates to "Our Ancient Land" in English.) Written by Henning Jakob Henrik Lund in 1912, it was officially adopted in 1916. Music for it was later composed by Jonathan Petersen in 1937. The reference to Kalaallit as "half-grown children" yearning to join the "advanced nations" of the world has been considered controversial in modern times. Since 1979, "Nuna asiilasooq" ("The Land of Great Length"), an ethnic anthem used by the self-governing Kalaallit, has also been officially recognized by the government.

My only reason for doing this, though, was to add to the variety of music to my YouTube channel (and my FA profile), as well as add this to the list of national anthems I hadn't done yet, but have now done. It has absolutely nothing to do with the recent events surrounding Greenland.
