Program Notes
The "low countries" refers to the region of The Netherlands that lies in the low altitude near the border of the North Sea and its surrounding areas. The melodies presented in this piece are four popular Dutch folk songs of the mid-twentieth century, a reflection of the composer's Dutch heritage. They include Daar Ging een Meid om Water uit" (The Maid was Going Out to Get Water), In Holland Staat Een Huis (In Holland Stands a House), Hoe Groot O Heer (How Great Is the Lord), and Daar Ging een Partertje Langs de Kant (A Pastor Walked at the Riverside).
