George Wilberforce Kakoma (27 July 1923 – 8 April 2012) was a graduate of Trinity College of Music and Durham University who composed "Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty", Uganda's national anthem. Prior to Uganda's independence, three sub-committees were established to deal with Uganda’s national symbols. The sub-committee for the creation of a national anthem encouraged Ugandans to submit their proposals. :''"The compositions had to be short, original, solemn, praising and looking forward to the future. They had to be harmonised in the usual four parts-soprano, alto, tenor and bass,"'' said Kakoma in an (interview ). In July 1962, the committee chose Kakoma's composition. It had taken him a day to compose the music and lyrics for Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty. Kakoma died on 8 April 2012 in Kampala's Kololo suburb, aged 89. He had been ill since February 2011. ==Publications== * George W.
