Peter van Anrooy - Piet Hein Rhapsodie (1901)

Peter van Anrooy (1879-1954)

Piet Hein was a Dutch West India Company admiral who captured the Spanish silver fleet in 1628 and was immortalized through a song with his name by J. P. Heije with a tune by J. J. Viotta. Piet Hein Rhapsody, composed in 1901, was a youthful work of Peter van Anrooy based in Heije's song written at the request of his composition teacher Johan Wagenaar. His nine-minute Piet Hein, "Dutch Rhapsody for Large Orchestra" is brilliantly orchestrated, sure crowd-pleaser especially for Netherlanders who know the popular tune. In spite of this delightful first opus, Anrooy's other music has been forgotten and he is best known as conductor of the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra which he led for many years beginning in 1917.

Hij was ook een piraat bij het leven. En er staat bekend dat hij slaven handelde, niet alleen goederen. Dat hele geromantiseerde zilvervloot verhaaltje zeker leuk voor Nederland maar leer de ware geschiedenis maar eens. Zo nette mensen waren wij niet.

@TheWorkslave Natuurlijk waar, maar de muziek is zeer net.

@Jaap42103 Wordt dat niet meer gedoceerd dan? Piet Hein? Politically incorrect maybe?

Go Bartje Go! (Vreselijk, al die mensen die zo nodig de moraalridder moeten uithangen)

Heb zeer bijzondere herinneringen aan dit heerlijke stuk muziek. Stadhuis Arnhem, begin 70'er jaren. Het Gelders Orkest speelde dit fantastische stuk, mijn eerste concert dat ik als 10-jarig jochie meemaakte.

Heel veel dank hiervoor!

@Cue42 Hey, ik was geabboneerd op het Gelders Orkest begin 70'er jaren! von Caraguly, Leo Driehuis, etc. Was in Orpheus, Apeldoorn. Ik kan me de Piet Hein Rhapsody nog goed herinneren! Moet hetzelfde zijn geweest wat je toen in Arnhem gehoord hebt. Leuk toeval!

@senses2000 Common knowledge (You forgot Portugal, notorious slave traders) You can't find ONE single country free of blemishes, or black pages in their history. Name One.

Thanks for visiting.

One voter was a Spaniard. LOL

[Fader45]

Slave traders... I guess that was just the way of life back in the day. At least THEY didn't have to polish their own shoes. I wouldn't mind a bit of help!

Music like this is perfect for listening to during a long drive through the country at night time. I love it thanks for the upload.

@senses2000

They use countries like you and I use a pair of gloves. No loyalty to a particular pair. They just use them when needed. England for example got the Empire. And what did Holland gain in the end? When the English "British empire" floundered who did they take over? Why USA and Russia of course. Is there an NWO? I suspect yes. Is there a guarantee that I'm right? NO. But this is still a great symphony tune

Best Dutch Admiral ever. Greatest Spanish Pirate ever. LOL ROFL

One week to unload his treasure in Amsterdam. My Dutch face is SMILING.
