This major
concert work cosists o
five movements.1st
movement: La Laguna del
ShimbeSituated high up in
the Andes mountains in
Northern Peru are the
Huaringas, a group of
lagoons in isolated and
mysterious surroundings.
The water has healing
powersand for centuries
traditional healers have
settled there in small
villages. From far the
sick come to the
Huaringas to be treated
in nightly rituals, in
which the hallucinating
juice of the San Pedro
cactus gives the prophet
a look inside hispatient.
The biggest lagoon is the
“Laguna del
Shimbeâ€, one of the
countless wells of the
immense Amazon stream.2nd
movement: Los
AguarunasFurther
downstream in Northern
Peru we come across the
rain tribe of Los
Aguarunas. It’s a
proud, beautiful
andindependent race,
which has never succumbed
to domination, not even
from the Incas. They live
from everything the
forest has to offer:
fish, fruit, plants, ...
. They also grow some
crops and live as
semi-nomads. They take
their fate into their
ownhands and after having
made contact with modern
civilisation, they have
integrated new elements
into their lives without
betraying their own
ways.3rd movement:
MekaronMekaron is an
Indian word meaning
“pictureâ€,
“soulâ€,
“essenceâ€.
The Indians are
theorigina inhabitants of
the Amazon region. They
either live in one place
as a group or move around
a large region. They all
have their own political
system, their own
language and an intense
social life. At the same
time they are master of
music andmedicine.
“Everywhere the
white man goes, he leaves
a wilderness behind
himâ€, wrote the
North American Indian
leader Seatl in 1885. As
a result of these
contacts with the whites,
the disruption of most
Indian societies began.
(In this century alone,80
tribes have vanished
completely).4th movement:
KêêtuajêThis is
the name of the
initiating ceremony of
the Krahô tribe in the
Brazilian state of Goias,
in which young boys and
girls enter adult life.
They are cleansed with
water, painted with
redpaint and covered with
feathers, after which the
ritual dance holds the
entire tribe
spell-bound.5th movement:
Paulino FaiakanIn 1988
the Indian chiefs Faiakan
and Raoni Kaiapo came to
Europe to protest against
the building of the
Altamira dam inBrazil. As
a result of the dam the
Indians would be driven
from their traditional
land and enormous
artificial would be
created. The project was
supported financially by,
amongst others, the
European Community. In
February 1989 the Indian
tribesaround Altamira
held a protest march for
the first time in their
history together. Amongst
other things they paid
tribute tot Chico Mendez,
who, murdered in 1988,
was the leader of the
rubber syndicate and a
fierce opponent of the
destruction of
theBrazilian rain forest.
Brazilian and world
opinion was awakened. The
building of the dam was
-albeit temporarily -
stopped.

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.

Avalon is a
one-part composition. The
surprising opening
measures describe the
sudden entrance into
another world. After
these initial measures,
we hear a choral-like
melody, which is repeated
three times in different
instrumentations with
increasing intensity.
This represents the
procession of the ghosts
dwelling in the
underworld of Avalon,
headed by the mighty
magician Merlin.The
exalted sound is then
suddenly interrupted by a
fast movement, in which
ostinato figures
alternate with bi-tonal
motives. This represents
the attempt of some evil
characters to invade
Avalon. Mordred is the
leader of this horde and
together they disturb the
peace and quiet in the
otherwisecalm Avalon. The
flourish of trumpets
heralds the entrance of
the Knights of the Round
Table who drive away the
intruders and return to
their castle, Tintagel,
in a triumphal
procession. Upon their
return, the next problem
presents itself. An
inexplicable disease
plagues the resting
ghosts.The Knights and
the Council of the Wise
are convened to find out
the cause of this
problem. Musically this
can be heard in the
repetition of the initial
themes. The Knights and
the Council of the Wise
determine that the
presence of mortals is
the reason that the
resting ghosts are
suffering. There is
simply no room for mortal
souls in Avalon. After a
powerful statement by
King Arthur, we hear a
glissando referring to
the very first measures,
and… we are back in
the normal world. The
journey through the
underworld has come to an
end and a dream is over.

Hora
Est! (Latin for
‘it is
time!’) was
composed to bid adieu to
Sjoerd de Boer’s
following forty years as
conductor of the Chr.
Fanfare Band, based in
the town of Wjelsryp in
the Netherlands. In the
Netherlands, this small
phrase, hora est, is
traditionally said upon
awarding a university
doctorate at graduation
ceremonies. The
composition was written
with Sjoerd de Boer
firmly in mind, mirroring
various aspects of his
life. The main motif of
the work consists of
three notes, forming his
initials: S (Eb) D B. At
a certain point, the
music is interrupted by a
thunderstorm and heavy
rain (forever a bad omen:
the debut for this work
took place a day after
such a deluge, but
fortunately their
open-air concert was met
with clear blue skies.)
The fanfare then plays an
Italianesque march, with
the motif of de
Boer’s initials
interwoven throughout.
The work re-uses this
motif twice towards the
end of the piece as one
might expect, by the
saxophones to create a
festive, driven and
virtuosic atmosphere.
Finally, the work comes
to an end with the
initials motif played
across the ensemble in
complete unison. The
powerful closing chords
symbolise a fond farewell
to de Boer: a driven and
extremely capable
conductor whose musical
mark on Concordia will be
felt for years to come.
Hora Est! is
suitable as a contest
piece and would be a
definite highlight for
any upcoming
concert.
Hora
Est! is gecomponeerd
ter gelegenheid van het
afscheid van Sjoerd de
Boer als dirigent van
Chr. Fanfarekorps
Concordia uit Wjelsryp
(Friesland), na maar
liefst veertig jaar.
Hora Est! is
Latijn voor ‘Het is
tijd!’. Het
zinnetje wordt
traditioneel uitgesproken
bij een promotie tot
doctor op de
universiteit, op het
moment dat de
vastgestelde tijd voor
verdediging van het
proefschrift om is. De
pedel komt dan binnen en
stampt met zijn staf op
de grond terwijl hij deze
woorden roept. In dat
opzicht verwijst de titel
naar de voormalige
universiteitsstad
Franeker, de woonplaats
van Sjoerd en de stad
waar hij jaren lang
leraar muziek was aan de
christelijke
scholengemeenschap.
Anderzijds verwijst de
titel naar zijn afscheid
van Concordia: ‘Het
is tijd!’.

Hora
Est! (Latin for
‘it is
time!’) was
composed to bid adieu to
Sjoerd de Boer’s
following forty years as
conductor of the Chr.
Fanfare Band, based in
the town of Wjelsryp in
the Netherlands. In the
Netherlands, this small
phrase, hora est, is
traditionally said upon
awarding a university
doctorate at graduation
ceremonies. The
composition was written
with Sjoerd de Boer
firmly in mind, mirroring
various aspects of his
life. The main motif of
the work consists of
three notes, forming his
initials: S (Eb) D B. At
a certain point, the
music is interrupted by a
thunderstorm and heavy
rain (forever a bad omen:
the debut for this work
took place a day after
such a deluge, but
fortunately their
open-air concert was met
with clear blue skies.)
The fanfare then plays an
Italianesque march, with
the motif of de
Boer’s initials
interwoven throughout.
The work re-uses this
motif twice towards the
end of the piece as one
might expect, by the
saxophones to create a
festive, driven and
virtuosic atmosphere.
Finally, the work comes
to an end with the
initials motif played
across the ensemble in
complete unison. The
powerful closing chords
symbolise a fond farewell
to de Boer: a driven and
extremely capable
conductor whose musical
mark on Concordia will be
felt for years to come.
Hora Est! is
suitable as a contest
piece and would be a
definite highlight for
any upcoming
concert.
Hora
Est! is gecomponeerd
ter gelegenheid van het
afscheid van Sjoerd de
Boer als dirigent van
Chr. Fanfarekorps
Concordia uit Wjelsryp
(Friesland), na maar
liefst veertig jaar.
Hora Est! is
Latijn voor ‘Het is
tijd!’. Het
zinnetje wordt
traditioneel uitgesproken
bij een promotie tot
doctor op de
universiteit, op het
moment dat de
vastgestelde tijd voor
verdediging van het
proefschrift om is. De
pedel komt dan binnen en
stampt met zijn staf op
de grond terwijl hij deze
woorden roept. In dat
opzicht verwijst de titel
naar de voormalige
universiteitsstad
Franeker, de woonplaats
van Sjoerd en de stad
waar hij jaren lang
leraar muziek was aan de
christelijke
scholengemeenschap.
Anderzijds verwijst de
titel naar zijn afscheid
van Concordia: ‘Het
is tijd!’.
