 [ "The music to the hymn is believed to have originated in the comic
 [ opera Geneviéve de Brabant composed by the French composer Jacques
 [ Offenbach.  Originally written as a two-act opera in 1859, Offenbach
 [ revised the work, expanding it to three acts in 1867.  This revised
 [ version included the song "Couplets des Deux Hommes d'Armes" and is
 [ the musical source of The Marines' Hymn."
