Program Notes:
‘Centenary’ was commissioned by Music Association Kunst Na Strijd from Woudrichem on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the orchestra. The premiere of Centenary by this wind band conducted by Olaf Baeke took place on January 3, 2020 in Cultural Center ’t Rondeel in Woudrichem.
Centenary is very suitable for opening a concert. After a short opening fanfare of the trumpets, trombones and percussion, the main mach-like theme of the work follows throughout the orchestra. The work then slowly builds up to a spectacular climax with the percussion playing a leading role.
