Zubir Said: The Composer of Majulah Singapura

 -

 Rohana Zubir

 
Zubir Said, although now remembered as the composer of Singapore's national anthem and other nationalist songs, started off life in Java in a strict Muslim family where music was considered haram, or forbidden. However once he escaped to the bright lights of Singapore his talents took full rein as he became a popular mainstay in the pre-war music industry there. This well produced book, with a CD of his music laid in, traces his career from the time when he taught himself to read and write music through to his retirement. New Hardback First Edition. 280 pages with a bibliography and an index.
