A truly masterful fantasy on an English folk song, this piece shows the exceptional musical development found in many of the greatest classical symphonies. The fantasy is roughly in the style of the classical rondo (ABACA) and features fine counterpoint and engaging melodies. This piece can be played in an orchestral and quartet setting and is both challenging and fun to play.
My Fantasy on The Wee Cooper of Fife was one of four such fantasies I wrote for my daughter April when she was studying the violin, and I had hopes that when she reached the age of wisdom and proficiency she would play them with her friends. Life being what is it, she eventually gave up the violin and chose a completely different career for herself-though we are still the best of friends! I found the song in a collection of folk songs for children where it is called Rissoldy Rossoldy. Except for a few notes, the song was almost identical to the English folksong The Wee Cooper of Fife, which begins: There was a Wee Cooper named Fife / nickity nackety roo noo roo / He took him to wed a gentle wife / nickity nackety roo noo roo / She would na card she would na spin / for fear 't would harm her gentle skin.... The tune is rollicking and words are amusing, and yes, eventually they worked out their problems! The Fantasy is roughly in the style of the classical rondo, which is ABACA coda, such as one finds in the last movements of some of Haydn's later symphonies. This composition may be performed by a string orchestra or solo string quartet. - Douglas Townsend.

The future of our fragile world is in our hands. As Sir David Attenborough stated on the Climate Conference in Glasgow on November, 1st, 2021: ... We are already in trouble. The stability we all depend on is breaking. This story is one of inequality, as well as instability. Today, those who’ve done the least to cause this problem, are being the hardest hit. Ultimately, all of us will feel the impact, some of which are now unavoidable. ... We’re going to have to learn together, how to achieve this, ensuring none are left behind. We must use this opportunity to create a more equal world and our motivation should not be fear, but hope. ... . We must be more caring about the wonderful place we live in... our unique home: Planet Earth. This music is both a shoutout to take care of our planet and a hymn to the beauty of this place. The composition is suited for stage as well as for the enjoyment in music school orchestral practice.

The composer: A short concert-opener where I use Norwegian folk-tunes.
I wanted to create a short musical picture of the Vikings running from the seashore towards some people they wanted to fight down.
They used to drink something made of mushrooms and became very wild.
They didn¬?t feel any pain, they didn¬?t feel any fear.
They where called the Berserkings!

Ze voelden geen pijn en kenden geen angst... de Vikingen! Na het drinken van een speciale drank van paddenstoelen konden ze de hele wereld aan. Fraaie Noorse volksmelodieën gebruikend, schetst Aagaard-Nilsen het hero?sche beeld vanaanvallende Vikingen. Klaar om de kust te bestormen...

The Innocent Condemned tells of the so-called buck riders (bokkerijders) who, in the middle of the 18th Century caused mayhem in the area around Limburg. Calmer passages in the music depict the fear of the locals, while a vivo furioso describes a night raid, and powerful drum sounds together with emotional musical lines illustrate the execution of an innocent. A gripping piece of history caught in music!

Deze indrukwekkende compositie vertelt het verhaal van de ‘Bokkenrijders’, een bende rovers die in de helft van de 18e eeuw de streek rond Limburg onveilig maakten. Vele burgers werden nadien valselijk beschuldigd bokkenrijders te zijn geweest. Ze werden ten onrechte veroordeeld en brutaal terechtgesteld. In deze programmamuziek van Rob Goorhuis kun je de gebeurtenissen terughoren.

The Innocent Condemned (Der unschuldig Verurteilte) erzählt von den so genannten Bokkerijders“ (Bockreitern), die Mitte des 18. Jahrhundert die Gegend um Limburg unsicher machten. Ruhige Passagen im Werk zeugen von der Angst der Bürger, ein Vivo furioso beschreibt einen nächtlichen Überfall und vehemente Schlagzeugklänge sowie emotionale musikalische Linien illustrieren die Hinrichtung eines Unschuldigen. Ein packendes Stück Geschichte in Musik gefasst!

Selon la légende, les Buckriders étaient un gang de voleurs sans scrupules qui dévalisaient les fermes et les presbytères lors de leur passage. Il a été dit que les membres avaient fait un pacte avec Satan et chevauchaient dans le ciel dos de chèvres. Les passages calmes dans l’œuvre témoignent de la crainte des citoyens, un Vivo furioso décrit un raid de nuit et les sons véhéments des percussions suivis de lignes musicales lyriques illustrent l’exécution d’un innocent. Cette histoire de légende reprend vie gr ce la musique de Rob Goorhuis.

The Innocent Condemned narra la storia dei “Bokkerijders”, briganti che nel XVIII secolo terrorizzavano con le loro gesta la regione olandese intorno a Limburg. I passaggi calmi proposti nel brano evocano la paura dei cittadini, un Vivo furioso descrive un’incursione notturna, mentre i suoni veementi delle percussioni seguiti da una linea melodica lirica traspogono in musica l’esecuzione di un innocente. Un brano coinvolgente che riassume la storia in musica!

Fear, anxiety, adrenaline, and a sheer rush of excitement all take center stage in this musical depiction of a rollercoaster ride. After percussion simulate the sound of a lift hill, the ride is off in an action-packed series of drops, turns, and loops. Eventually the riders get their hands up in the air and revel in the unabashed joy of the moment before the ride comes to its end. Unique and powerful!
