La Marseillaise

La Marseillaise was the national anthem to the French Republic during the French Revolution after the National Assembly declared war against Austria. Originally composed for the army of the Rhine, volunteers marching from Marseille sang the song and its title and message transformed and it became the rallying sound for the revolution.[1] During the French Revolution, the French Assassin Arno Dorian came across Paris' local taverns and its customers singing the anthem.[2]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Because the song was composed the evening of 25 April 1792,[3] its occurrence in open-world exploration of Assassin's Creed: Unity is anachronistic any time before the memory "The King's Correspondence", which is set 10 August.

Sarah Schachner used part of the song in the soundtrack cue "Rather Death Than Slavery".
