The next morning, Degate wrote the first draft of the main song, and the next day he matched it with the chorus. All the music of The Internationale was composed in two days. Degeyter immediately took it to the crowd for audition, listened to the opinions of the workers and revised it repeatedly.
On June 23rd, at the commemorative meeting of the newspaper workers' day in Lille, the "Voice of Workers" choir, which was personally directed by Degate, sang the Internationale for the first time. The "Voice of Workers" choir decided to publish the Internationale immediately, and agreed that only the author's last name should be written on the score, so as not to lose Degert's job. The score was first published in 6000 copies.
