I had the pleasure to have a masterclass with Johan de Meij, where we played the Continental Overture, and he explained that the overture functioned as a study piece for this symphony. There's a lot of material, other than just the hymn, that's transported from the overture to the symphony.
A stunning masterpiece!
Beautiful, simply beautiful...
My children's choir sang this and I still think its the most epic song ever ^_^
Oh my god I love johan de meij so much. Ahhh
We're playing this in our wind ensemble at school now, it is challenging, fun and beautiful to play
I love this piece!
OH i went to a concert where it was played by our national military orchestra. It was amazing. Hearing it live is just too good :D
Surreal! Épico! Maravilhoso!
Best Dutch composer today imo!
grandioso
When the choir comes in!!
epic!
👏👏👏
Uploader, shouldn't you at least have the basic courtesy of sharing the names of the performers? Conductor? Wind Orchestra?
