However this composition was written for everyone who has made Wons what it is today: a pretty place near to Lake IJssel with a comfortable way of life. The piece begins with a celebratory introduction in which the village is presented to the listener. There follows a delightful rhythmic and high-tempo theme that reflects the happiness innocence and carefree atmosphere before the war. Now we hear a moody fragmented theme depicting soldiers shooting. This is brought to a close with dissonant clusters of sound intoning the dreadful tragedy of the war. The ensuing quiet gives way to a calm middle section in a minor key that portrays both frustration and consolation. The fast tempo of the beginning returns this time in the form of a victory march. We hear freedom being celebrated. We hear the previous happy innocent and carefree themes too.
