THE COMPLETE

NATIONAL
ANTHEMS
OF THE WORLD
2013 Edition – 10 CD Set
‘A mandatory purchase for the nationality/sovereignty anorak.
Indispensable for bandmasters, state musicians, Mastermind
contestants, Tovey experts and organisers of diplomatic events and
international visits. Also any self-respecting major or regional library
will want to have this on the shelves.’
– MusicWeb International on the 2005 edition.
Description
While globalisation advances, all countries staunchly retain two unique features:
their distinctive national flag and a bonding national anthem. The anthems
reflect an enormous indigenous diversity, but relatively few are generally
known by citizens of other nations, making any comprehensive compendium a
source of endless interest and discovery. We invite you to take a musical tour of
Naxos’ definitive set of national and regional anthems, from Algeria to Kuwait,
Lapland to Zanzibar, and all stops in between. You’ll be delighted by the gems
that are waiting to be discovered and compiled into either personal or family
favourites. And you can check out the flags in the process with our informative
supporting booklets! Welcome to the Naxos boxed set of THE COMPLETE
NATIONAL ANTHEMS OF THE WORLD.
