This stately
concert opener was
originally written by Jan
Van der Roost for a
special event in which
six respected wind
orchestras (two Belgian
and four Dutch) of
different composition
(two symphonic bands, two
fanfare bands and two
brass bands) were
featured during six
concerts. Each evening
brought forth a
performance by a
symphonic band, a
fanfare, and brass band,
so that the audience
could experience all
three types of ensembles.
This was indeed an
original concept.The
name, ConZEnSus, comes
from a combination of the
words, ‘Concert
Cyclus’ (concert
series) and
‘zes’ (Dutch
for ‘six’).
This leads to a new word,
which refers to
‘consensus’.
The general tenor of the
cycle isthus immediately
indicated. The richness
of color of the various
ensembles is revealed
through an open and
friendly atmosphere.
During all six concerts
(over a span of three
years), ConZEnSus
functioned as a permanent
opening number for each
orchestra. Thus the same
musical story was
portrayed in three
different packages.
