Thyellene depicts of a battle that took place on the ‘Tielenheide’ - a stretch of moorland near the Belgian village of Tielen in 1597. In that memorable battle Prince Maurice of Nassau, commander of the Dutch army, defeated Count Varax, a general of the Spanish army - with a considerably smaller troop than the enemy. This great heroic subject has been transformed into this equally great work for brass band, which won the third prize at the 2009 European Composers Competition.
Thyellene erinnert an eine Schlacht, die 1597 auf der Tielenheide - einem Streifen Moorland nahe des belgischen Dorfes Tielen - stattfand. Prinz Moritz von Nassau, der Befehlshaber der holländischen Armee, besiegte in jener denkwürdigen Schlacht in deutlicher Unterzahl Graf Varax, einen General der spanischen Armee. Ein großes, heldenhaftes Thema, umgesetzt in ein ebenso großartiges Werk für Brass Band, das den dritten Preis bei der European Composers Competition 2009 gewann.
