Is there something to be celebrated? Then let's play 'Let's Celebrate'! This four-part suite has been based on two birthday songs: the world-famous 'Happy Birthday to you' (which is also sung in many other languages), and the Dutch song 'Lang zal hij/zij leven'. The Fanfare opens in grand style with the motif of 'Lang zal hij leven' and is followed by a cheerful March in which the motifs of both songs can be heard. The third part, Song, forms a moment of contemplation, and the birthday presents are unwrapped by the percussion section in the fourth part, Surprise Party. The yell may be adapted to the occasion. (the sleigh bells caused the composer to note down this somewhat peculiar yell). Of course everybody is expected to join in.

Valt er wat te vieren? dan spelen we ‘Let’s Celebrate’! Deze vier delige suite is gebaseerd op twee verjaardagsliedjes. het wereldbekende (en in vele talen gezongen) ‘Happy Birthday to you’ , en het Nederlandse ‘Lang zal hij/zijleven’. De Fanfare opent groots met het ‘Lang zal hij leven’-motief, gevolgd door een vrolijke March waarin beide liederen zijn verwerkt. Het derde deel, Song, vormt het moment van bezinning en de pakjes worden in het vierde deel,Surprise Party, uitgepakt door het slagwerk. De yell kan aangepast worden aan de gelegenheid. (de sleighbells waren de aanleiding voor de componist om deze wat vreemde yell te noteren). Het is natuurlijk wel de bedoeling datiedereen meedoet.
