Product Description

An arrangement of the Surinamese National Anthem for Brass Quintet. The anthem has its beginnings in a Sunday School song written in 1893 by Cornelis Atses Hoekstra called "Surinames Trotsche Stroomen" (Surinames Proud Streams). The song was set to a piece of music by Johannes Corstianus de Puy written in 1876. In 1959, after self-government was granted, the government asked the poet Henry de Ziel (whose pen name was Trefossa) to write lyrics for the anthem in the language popularly spoken in Suriname, Sranan Tongo. He also revised Hoekstras lyrics of the second verse to remove the "negative tones" in some lines. Originally the anthem was song with de Ziels verse first, but now it is perfomed with Hoekstras Dutch verse first and de Ziels Sranan lyrics as the second verse.
