Published by Keith Terrett (A0.1047471). An arrangement of the provincial song of Limburg arranged for String Orchestra. Limburg mijn Vaderland (Limburg my native country) is the official anthem of the provinces of Belgian and Dutch Limburg.The anthem has been written by schoolteacher Gerard Krekelberg in 1909 . The melody was composed by Hendrik (or Henri) Thyssen from Roermond. Henri Thyssen also wrote the anthem for Roermond, Oud en trouw Roermond. The anthem was written in Dutch. In everyday life in Limburg around 1900 Dutch was of no importance. Everything was done in Limburgs. Newspapers in the 19th and early 20th century were written in German or Limburgs and in most parts of Limburg German was the language used in church and education. In this time Maastricht still had a very strong connection with French-speaking areas around Liege . Krekelberg’s poem puts quite a lot of emphasis on the unity of (Dutch) Limburg, which was at the time -and arguably still is- a rather culturally diverse area. Need an anthem fast?
