The ceremony is led by the President of Indonesia and is usually held in Merdeka Palace.Дuring the rendition or singing of the national anthem, all present except those in uniform should stand, face toward the music, and pay respect. The main flag raising ceremony is held annually on 17 August to commemorate Independence day. The flag is raised in a solemn and timed motion so that it reaches the top of the flagpole as the anthem ends. 'Indonesia Raya' is played in flag raising ceremonies in schools across Indonesia every Monday. Jozef Cleber, a Dutch composer, created an arrangement of the tune for philharmonic orchestra in 1950. The first stanza of 'Indonesia Raya' was chosen as the national anthem when Indonesia proclaimed its independence on 17 August 1945. The first newspaper to openly publish the musical notation and lyrics of 'Indonesia Raya' - an act of defiance towards the Dutch authorities - was the Chinese Indonesian weekly Sin Po. The song marked the birth of the all-archipelago nationalist movement in Indonesia that supported the idea of one single 'Indonesia' as successor to the Dutch East Indies, rather than split into several colonies. The song was introduced by its composer, Wage Rudolf Supratman, on 28 October 1928 during the Second Indonesian Youth Congress in Batavia. It has been the national anthem since the proclamation of Indonesian independence on 17 August 1945. ' Indonesia Raya' ( Indonesian: 'Great Indonesia') is the national anthem of Indonesia.
