Grönnens Laid

The "Grönnens laid" (English: Song of Groningen) is the anthem of the Groningen province of the Netherlands. The anthem was written in 1919 by Geert Teis Pzn. of Stadskanaal, composed by G.R. Jager of Slochteren and arranged by Frieso Molenaar. It is the only Dutch provincial anthem that is officially written in a local dialect, in this case Gronings.
