When Nations Meet
Programme notes:

This composition superimposes the Belgian and Singaporean national anthems in a double fugue. The idea arose when the writer attended an event in a neighbouring country during which two recorded anthems were accidentally played simultaneously to welcome dignitaries.

Composer, conductor in Singapore with specialty in fusion music
