This indispensable source book has, over the years, proved invaluable, not only for the increasing number of occasions on which a particular national anthem is played, but also as a permanent reference book for those interested in music and contemporary culture. Close liaison with Embassies, High Commissions and governments has ensured that 'National Anthems of the World' can claim to be the definative international authority on the subject.
