Description: I—DUTCH BATTLE SONG.

LESSON: The spirit of this battle-song is heroic; it must be interpreted in a stately manner, with an undertone of tragedy. Notice how the bass of m. 2 (last beat) and m. 3 imitates the right-hand part of m. 1 (last two beats) and m. 2. One can imagine the horns and trumpets boldly sounding the repeated A's. The similarity of the last beat (left hand) of m. 9, last beat (right hand) of m. 10, and last beat (left hand) of m. 11 should be observed. Then the triumphant mood of those measures—blend-ing into melancholy and mystery in the measures following—should be insisted upon. The B flat in the left hand of m. 16 must be accented and slightly sustained, for it adds greatly to the seriousness of the song.
