Thread Name: National Anthems you may have missed
Subject: RE: national anthems you may have missed
I'm now reminded of something from my childhood. My dad was a good violinist, and had much music. In one of the books was a hand written score on a shhet of paper titled "Japanese (or was it Chinese - must find that book!) National Anthem" - my father seemed to think it was somewhat of a joke - it may not have been the actual anthem.

It was a series of chords, supposedly played in a rhythmic arpeggio manner.

Sounded 'apparently authentic' to a child ... :-)
