Part 1 from Global Reunion. Composed by Paul Voet. Original Pieces / Parts of the World Continent. Molenaar Original Compositions. Score.

We start our trip in Wallony, the French speaking part of Belgium where folk music is having a big revival nowadays. A solo cornet invites us with a classic opening as a little promenade to the dance, always accompanied by a tenor drum. Some instruments join but the cornet ends up alone. When the euphoniums present their more up tempo "quasi Celtic jig" all groups dance together towards the end. Now and then syncopated counter-rhythms occur in accompanying parts. The 1st theme is from the manuscript of Francois-Joseph Jamin (early 19th century).
