About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 5 SKU: ML.011957080-S Composed by Louis Andriessen. The Best Original Compositions for Concert Band/Catalogue Master Works Vol. 1. Molenaar Masterpieces. Recorded on Music for Ballet (ML.311024720). Score only. Duration 11 minutes, 58 seconds. Molenaar Edition #011957080-S. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.011957080-S). 'Symphonieen der Nederlanden' is a piece in one movement for wind band. It contains seven subdivisions, each of them treating a different musical theme. But the unifying idea is hard work, the same kind of hard work as dragging a plough through the flat Dutch polder fields. Heavy work, and always the same. Sometimes a bit of relaxation, like the charleston at the end, but we keep our clogs on. It's a serious piece.
