I feel some sympathy for anyone struggling to retain control like that in a public setting. She must have thought that song was going to last forever. Please, not a second verse.

By the way - the song. Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken? Is that the Ukraine national anthem or something?

No, that was actually the German anthem (to which the hymn tune was later set).

The music is from Haydn’s Emperor Quartet, second movement.
