The Golden
Age is a programmatic
composition in four
movements. I
Overture For the
Netherlands, the
seventeenth century was a
period of great
flourishing in the fields
of economy, culture and
politics; thus it is
called the Golden Age.
Overseas trade boomed,
and the Dutch East India
Company (known as the VOC
by the Dutch) was founded
and expanded to become a
powerful -and, at the
time - modern enterprise.
II ¡Adiós
españoles!(Farewel
l, Spaniards!) In 1567,
the Spanish army invaded,
led by the Duke of Alva.
There was a fierce
resistance against the
Spanish tyranny; toward
the end of the sixteenth
century, the Dutch
proclaimed theRepublic.
However, the Spanish
continued the war. Only
with the Treaty of
Münster in 1648 did
the Dutch get their much
sought-after
independence. This was
also the end of the
Eighty Years’ War.
III Rembrandt’s
Night WatchThe field
of culture, particularly
literature, painting,
sculpture, architecture,
the art of printing, and
cartography developed
fast. It was in the
Golden Age that the
celebrated painter
Rembrandt van Rijn
created his famous Night
Watch. IV The
Admiral Overseas
trade entailed the
colonization of large
areas in Asia, from where
precious products that
yielded lots of money
were brought in.
Surrounding countries
were also involved in
such practices.
Colonizers poached on
each other’s
territories in the
literal and figurative
sense - in this context
the Anglo-Dutch Sea Wars
are legendary. The fourth
movement starts with the
English patriotic song
Rule Britannia, after
which the Dutch Admiral
Michiel de Ruyter makes
the English change their
tune; one can even hear
the roaring of cannons.
When the smoke of battle
has cleared, a small
fragment of a Dutch song
about Michiel de Ruyter
appears, followed by a
fitting closing.

‘Whence

Flowing?’ is the
first line of an old
French Christmas song
that originated in the

John Gay used this joyous

Christ and His miraculous

Christmas is
full of customs and
traditions, both old and
new. This is especially
evident in Christmas
songs, some of which have
been part of Christian
worship for centuries.
A Medieval
Christmas combines
three ancient melodies
that are stillpopular
around the world today.
Philip Sparke chose
Gaudete, a song of
praise from the middle
ages, Coventry
Carol, an English
song from the 14th
century, and In dulci
jubilo, which can
also be traced back to
the 14th century, toform
this joyous
suite.
Kerst is
een feest van tradities
en gebruiken. Dit komt

kerstliederen die al

oude melodieën
centraal diewereldwijd
nog steeds populair zijn.
Het zijn het middeleeuwse
loflied Gaudete,
het Engelse Coventry
Carol en het bekende

jubilo.
Weihna

Tradition. Dies zeigt
sich ganz besonders in
den Weihnachtsliedern,

Jahrhunderten einen

einnehmen. A Medieval

The song
Bist du bei mir,
geh’ ich mit
Freuden zum Sterben und
zu meiner Ruh’
(BWV 508) was composed by
Johann Sebastian Bach for
his second wife Anna
Magdalena (1701-1760),
who he married in
1721.The popularity of
this song is probably due
to the magnificent,
sensitive melody that
fits wonderfully with the
text, in which a loved
one is told that even
death is beautiful
“as long as you are
there with me.â€
This beautiful
arrangement by Jacob de
Haan is suitable for use
in any

Het lied
Bist du bei mir,
geh’ ich mit
freuden zum Sterben und
zu meiner Ruh (BWV 508)
werd gecomponeerd door
Johann Sebastian Bach
voor zijn tweede vrouw
Anna Magdalena
(1701-1760), met wie hij
in 1721 trouwde. Dit lied
dankt
zijnongeëvenaarde
populariteit
waarschijnlijk aan de
schitterende, gevoelige
melodie die prachtig
aansluit bij de tekst,
waarin een geliefde te
horen krijgt dat zelfs de
dood mooi is
‘zolang jij bij me
bent’. Dit
prachtige arrangementvoor
blaasorkest, geschreven
door Jacob de Haan, is
geschikt voor vele
gelegenheden.
B
ist du bei mir
schrieb Johann Sebastian
Bach für seine zweite
Frau Anna Magdalena. Die
Melodie passt
vorzüglich zum Text
eines unbekannten
Dichters, der besagt,
dass selbst der Tod
keinen Schrecken mehr
birgt, solange nur der
geliebte Mensch da ist.
Jacob de Haan schuf aus
der beliebten,
besinnlichen Melodie eine
gefühlvolle
Bearbeitung für
Blasorchester.
Nel 1721
Johann Sebastian Bach
sposa in seconde nozze
Anna Magdalena Wilcken.
Le dedica
l’aria Bist du
bei mir BWV 508. La
notoriet di questa aria
è ineguagliabile per
la sua tenerezza che si
evolve in perfetta
armonia con un testo
potente nel quale il
poeta ci regala una bella
visione
dell’amore. Jacob
de Haan ha realizzato un
superlativo arrangiamento
per banda, adatto a tutte
le occasioni.

The
Ukrainian Bell
Carol is part of a
large choral work
entitled Shchedryk by the
Ukrainian composer Mykola
Dmytrovich Leontovych
(1877-1921). It was first
performed by students of
Kiev University in
December 1916. The tune
is an adaptation of an
old
‘shchedrivkaâ€
, a song traditionally
sung on Ukrainian New
Year’s Eve
(January 13th) which
hopes for good fortune in
the year to come. In
Shchedryk, Leontovych
added his own the lyrics
which concern the legend
claiming that when Jesus
was born, all the bells
on earth started ringing
in his honour.The tune
has since been the
inspiration of at least
four different Christmas
carols, but Philip Sparke
