Additional info/contents	This commission came about through a strong friendship between the composer and the commissioning band:The Koninklijke Harmonie Rupelzonen-Boom. The city of Boom lies next to the river Rupel, which was important in the history of the city's economic development. Among other industries, brick making flourished and became known across the borders. Despite this, the composer does not refer to any industrial elements in the piece, but focuses instead on the countryside. This is reflected in the music through a recurring pastoral-like style. A rapid and energetic allegro refers, somewhat inconspicuously, to Leonard Bernstein's music. After the war, many bands performed transcriptions of classical repertoire and medleys. The Rupelzonen band was known as a pioneer, introducing new musical styles and composers, one of which was Bernstein.
