A sweeping musical journey through all National Day Parade theme songs from 1984 to 2025 –
for the first time in history.
Singapore – In celebration of SG60, The TENG Company (“TENG”) proudly unveils its latest music video “The Singapore National Day Parade Theme Song Medley (1984–2025)”, featuring The TENG Ensemble. Supported by Mapletree Investments (“Mapletree” or “the Group”), the music video presents the first-ever chronological medley of all 32 theme songs from Singapore’s National Day Parade from 1984 to 2025, including nostalgic favourites such as “Home” composed by Dick Lee.
The medley was co-arranged by Ting Si Hao and acclaimed 15-year-old Singaporean neurodivergent composer Nathanael Koh. Koh previously co-composed “Diversity in Strength” which was performed at the NDP 2024 and has also composed for TENG for “The Singaporean Composers Series” album. “I really enjoyed working on the arrangement – I listened closely to the original songs and tried to emulate their style while taking into consideration TENG’s musical style,” said Koh.
Filmed across five Mapletree properties including Mapletree Business City, VivoCity, St James Power Station, 1 & 1A Depot Close and 30A Kallang Place, the video also features five art installations that can be found in the Mapletree Public Art Trail. Additionally, the video features Mapletree-TENG scholars performing alongside members of The TENG Ensemble. The intergenerational collaboration is a reflection of the past and present coming together, and TENG’s mission of empowering the next generation of musicians.
“As Singapore marks its 60th year of independence, this project is a celebration of both the nation’s musical heritage and its future. It’s been an honour to work with Nathanael, a remarkable composer whose arrangement reimagines our National Day songs with fresh emotional depth. Featuring our Mapletree-TENG Scholars – young musicians from under-resourced families – this music video reminds us that creativity knows no boundaries, and that every Singaporean deserves a place in shaping our cultural story,” said Dr Samuel Wong, Creative Director of The TENG Company.
Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman of Mapletree, added: “Mapletree is honoured to celebrate Singapore’s SG60 milestone through the universal language of music and the arts. This music medley embodies the spirit of unity, creativity and cultural pride—values that resonate deeply with our commitment to fostering the arts in Singapore. Through our meaningful collaborations with TENG, we continue to support and inspire artistic excellence, ensuring that our vibrant arts scene remains a cornerstone of our nation’s identity.”
TENG’s “The Singapore National Day Parade Theme Song Medley (1984–2025)” will also be performed live by The TENG Ensemble at the upcoming concert, Stories from an Island City – Celebrating 60 Years of Singapore, taking place at the VivoCity Amphitheatre from 27 to 29 June 2025. Presented by Mapletree, this special SG60 concert showcases a rich tapestry of Singaporean talent from different generations including Bhaskar’s Arts Academy, Lalit Kumar, Nadi Singapura, Syafiqah ‘Adha, and the Voices of Singapore.
“The Singapore National Day Parade Theme Song Medley (1984–2025)” is now available on The TENG Company’s and Mapletree Arts in the City YouTube channel and their social media platforms.
