Beschreibung:
Mezzo soprano solo. Lest we forget was written for fanfare band in 1994 as a lively souvenir of the liberation in 1944. In 1999 Jose Schyns realized this marvellous wind band adaptation. This piece, for mezzo soprano and band, is a hymn for peace. The text is by Steffanie van Oers and the English translation is by Harry Reumkens. How great is a victory, if it does not allow me to stop fighting? Small as a rainbow of lies, Smearing rays of love with drops of hatred. Mother Earth is turning around a bloody sword, Her fruits withering in an icy echo of pain. Lady of Triumph, where is the key to your heart?
