The author of the tune is unknown and it may originate in plainchant, but an attribution to John Bull is sometimes made . </P> <P> It is the national anthem of the United Kingdom and one of two national anthems used by New Zealand since 1977, as well as for several of the UK's territories that have their own additional local anthem . It is also the royal anthem--played specifically in the presence of the monarch--of all the aforementioned countries, as well as Australia (since 1984), Canada (since 1980), Barbados and Tuvalu . In countries not previously part of the British Empire, the tune of "God Save the Queen" has provided the basis for various patriotic songs, though still generally connected with royal ceremony . In the United States, the melody is used for the patriotic song "My Country,' Tis of Thee". The melody is also used for the national anthem of Liechtenstein, "Oben am jungen Rhein". </P>
