Văn Cao

Văn Cao (born 15 November 1923 – 10 July 1995) was a Vietnamese composer whose works include "Tiến Quân Ca", which became the national anthem of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. He, along with [a=Phạm Duy] and [a=Trịnh Công Sơn], is considered one of the three most salient figures of modern (non-classical) Vietnamese music. He was also a noted poet and a painter.
