Disse indspilninger er uddrag fra “Rhapsodie sur l'Hymne Européen" af den franske komponist Christophe Guyard. Indspilningerne blev bestilt af Europarådet til brug i dokumentarfilm, nyheder og andre programmer, som beskæftiger sig med Europarådet.

"Rhapsodie sur l'Hymne Européen" er omfattet af copyright. Den er altså ikke fri for copyright, da den er registreret hos Sacem (Frankrig). Komponisten er Christopher Guyard.
