Who will be King Soccer?
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
The RISM online catalog already knows the answer! Take a look at Koning voetbal (King soccer). Willi Schootemeijer was inspired by a match between the Netherlands and Belgium in 1934 and wrote this march. Koning voetbal is the most famous of his ca. 50 marches.
RISM unfortunately does not have an incipit for this piece, so we will throw this question to the Oranje fans: Who can confirm for us that this recording of Koning voetbal with the Harmonie Orkest Roosendaal from 2 July 2010 is the same work?
Here you can listen to Schootemeijer’s song Ik hou van Holland sung by Joseph Schmidt:
