ONE PANEM

Anonymous asked: I recently read that not only James Newton Howard wrote it, but a husband and wife duo whose name I forgot also composed it alongside Howard. Is this true or a false statement?

Yes, the band ‘Arcade Fire’ also helped write and compose the Anthem.

Anonymous asked: What are the origins of Panem's anthem, The Horns of Plenty?

Our wonderful anthem was created during the resolve of the Dark Days. The Horn of Plenty is symbolic of our struggle to overcome our problems. It solidified our nation as one. “The brave shall heed the call. And we shall never falter.” The lyrics, created by the great musician of the Capitol, James Newton Howard. The first public use of it was at the Tribute Parade of the 1st Annual Hunger Games, 75 years ago. It was performed live by the National Panem Orchestra & Choir. The Panem Anthem is a huge piece of our history, and we continue to admire and respect it to this day.
