The Torch of Liberty

"The Torch of Liberty" was commissioned by the Royal Dutch Marechaussee on the occasion of its 200th anniversary. The music is based on the significance of a monument, a torch that is symbolically passed on from the fallen to the younger generation. This versatile composition includes a beautiful hymn and unique military sound effects in a festive and heroic style.
