This song was commissioned by the Dutch government, to be first played on “Remembrance Day”, 1965. The anniversary the 20th anniversary of their liberation during WWII. A haunting transition from “Taps’ played at military funerals. The first public performance was at the cemetery of the Allied Servicemen who died in “Operation Market Garden”.

It's amazing how fast the years fly by, the first time I heard this young lady playing this was on a sixteen year old video 😮

[Bmer]

One of the best musical arrangements in patriotic history.
