Further details:
The National Anthem of El Salvador has a text written by JUAN JOSÉ CAÑAS (1826-1918).
It was composed by one JUAN ABERLE (1846-1930) whose German name squares poorly with the claim that he hailed from Italy. He settled in El Salvador and became the teacher of a whole generation of musicians of his new country as also of Guatemala. The Government of Guatemala had a gold medal struck for him with the inscription, 'To the Prince of Central American Music'.
The beginning of the music is marked by a solemn flourish of trumpets which recurs throughout this marchlike composition. The trio is a striking reminiscence of the 'Coronation March' in Meyerbeer's opera 'Le Prophète'.
