National anthem of South Africa
Since 1997, The South African national anthem has been a hybrid song combining new words in English with extracts of the hymns "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" and "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika/The Call of South Africa". It is in this way the only neo-modal national anthem in the world, by virtue of being the only one that starts in one key and finishes in another.
