Browse piano sheets by Truong Sa on Zen Virtual Piano. Truong Sa is the professional name of Vietnamese songwriter Nguyễn Thìn, born in Ninh Bình in 1940. His family moved to Nha Trang in 1954, and he later settled in Thủ Đức in 1957. Music interested him from adolescence; he explored it through his own efforts before his early songs began to reflect another formative part of his life: service at sea. He entered naval service in 1962 and trained as an officer in the Republic of Vietnam Navy. As executive officer aboard the patrol vessel Trường Sa, he shared a shipboard life that also supplied his pen name. His songwriting drew on the experiences of naval soldiers, with Chuyện Người Đan Áo among the works associated with that period, alongside Một lần xa bến and Hành trang giã từ. Encouragement from musician friends later helped him turn toward love songs. The biographical account describes these as gentle but often painful.
