"Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia" (or "Voices of Rhodesia") was the national anthem of the unrecognised state of Rhodesia (renamed Zimbabwe in 1980) between 1974 and 1979. The tune was that of "Ode to Joy", the Fourth Movement from Ludwig van Beethovens Ninth Symphony, which had been adopted as the official European Anthem by the Council of Europe in 1972 (it remains Europes anthem today). The music used in Rhodesia was an original sixteen-bar arrangement by Captain Ken MacDonald, the bandmaster of the Rhodesian African Rifles. A national competition was organised by the government to find an appropriate set of lyrics to match the chosen tune, and won by Mary Bloom of Gwelo.

History
"Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia" remained in official usage for the rest of Rhodesias history, as well as between June and December 1979, when Rhodesia was reconstituted as Zimbabwe Rhodesia, a black-ruled version of the same country, which also failed to achieve legitimacy in the eyes of Britain and the UN. Though the anthem remained in place during these six months, a new flag was adopted and Rhodesias national holidays, largely based around colonial figures and milestones, were replaced by alternatives intended to be more inclusive: Presidents Day, Unity Day and Ancestors Day. The national anthem remained unchanged on 12 December 1979,[12] when Zimbabwe Rhodesia came under British control for an interim period before internationally recognised independence came in April 1980, with the country now called Zimbabwe.[13] "Ishe Komborera Africa", a Shona translation of Enoch Sontongas Xhosa hymn "Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika" ("God Bless Africa" in English) was made Zimbabwes first national anthem, and remained in place until 1994, when it was replaced by the present anthem, "Simudzai Mureza wedu WeZimbabwe" ("Blessed be the Land of Zimbabwe").[14]

Because of its use by "Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia", the "Ode to Joy" melody is controversial in Zimbabwe, where its annual playing at foreign embassies on Europe Day initially caused shock to Zimbabwean government officials who, according to historian Josephine Fisher, had not previously been aware of the songs use by the Council of Europe.[12] During the 1980s, Derek Hudson, the long-time conductor of the Bulawayo Philharmonic Orchestra, had considerable difficulty securing official permission to give the first Zimbabwean performance of Beethovens Ninth Symphony. He was eventually able to do so, but only after prolonged negotiations with the authorities.[15] When "Ode to Joy" was included in a fundraising organ recital held by a Harare church at Christmas 1994, it provoked angry protests from some who attended.
