Eduard de Boer: Toward Freedom, Symphonic Poem for Orchestra with choir ad libitum (2022)
See https://www.eduarddeboer.org/toward-f... for more information.
A composition inspired by the Freedom Convoy in Canada, February, 2022, depicting how the two parties involved – the government vs. the people – react to each other, to and fro. The heart-warming fraternization that the Freedom Convoy has brought about, has led me to insert Beethoven’s famous melody to Schiller’s Ode an die Freude / Alle Menschen werden Brüder (Ode to Joy / All Men will Become Brothers) into the piece. In addition, I made use of elements from the Canadian national anthem O Canada. Furthermore, halfway the composition appears a motive that originates from an earlier composition, called Vita Aeterna Variations and symbolizing positive karma. It emerges triumphant in the last movement and the piece closes with it. Finally, I wanted to express that the fraternization that the citizens of Canada have shown is an example for the rest the world that here lies the solution to stop the plans that the globalists and their World Economic Forum have with humanity. I therefore reshaped the Canadian national anthem into an anthem for the world, to lyrics by Franz K. Custos.
The composition consists of twelve movements (stanzas) that flow into one another without breaks. Here follows a description of each of the movements:
00:05 I. Introduction: Under the Yoke
A depiction of a bleak atmosphere of suppression, under the guise of ‘prioritizing the health and safety of citizens’. Central theme is a melody derived from ‘O, Canada’, Canada’s national anthem.
01:50 II. Announcement: Crossing a Borderline
Needless to say that the title is also meant in the sense of ‘going too far’.
03:04 III. Growing Protest
Next to the O Canada motive, bits of Beethoven’s Alle Menschen werden Brüder theme start to appear.
05:26 IV. Framing and Shaming
The Alle Menschen werden Brüder theme is ridiculed, while the O Canada motive is wrapped in a cloak of cheap seduction.
06:49 V. Charity
A merging of Beethoven’s melody with the O Canada motive symbolizes the people’s willingness to help by donating. Halfway this ‘stanza’ the Vita Aeterna motive, symbolizing positive karma, appears for the first time.
08:33 VI. Announcement: Freezing of Accounts
The discrepancy between the intention to ‘prioritize the health and safety of citizens’ and the new legislation now becomes apparent.
10:08 VII. ‘Material Aid’
The Vita Aeterna, the O Canada and the Alle Menschen werden Brüder motives, all together in a tender triple counterpoint.
11:52 VIII. Announcement: Arrests
The discrepancy between the intention to ‘prioritize the health and safety of citizens’ and the new legislation now takes on surreal proportions.
13:03 IX. March with Empty Jerry Cans
When the government had descended to the level of making things like carrying jerry cans filled with fuel punishable by law, people started walking the streets with empty jerry cans, thereby making use of one of the mightiest weapons that humanity has at its disposal: humor. Beethoven’s theme, in the shape that he used in the scherzo from the finale of his ninth symphony, is now in counterpoint with the O Canada motive, now reshaped into the global anthem melody that will conclude the composition.
14:52 X. Brute Force
Time and time again, history has shown that the one thing that totalitarian systems can’t stand is humor. So, now the government descends to the level of brute force and it violently crushes the Freedom Convoy movement. It doing so, the noble O Canada motive is besmirched.
16:51XI. Despondency
This ‘stanza’ can be subdivided into three parts: a depiction of a desolate battlefield after a battle, an expression of grief, and finally a return to the somber atmosphere of the opening stanza.
20:29 XII. Finale: Ode an die Freiheit (Ode to Freedom)
To keep a tyrannical system in place, people must be convinced that the system is there for their own good. This means that by descending to a level of brute violence, a totalitarian regime in fact signs its own death warrant, in the long run. Time and again, history has shown this, and the globalists know it.
This stanza starts off with a lonely fugue theme, getting stronger and more lively as time goes by, and then being joined by the Vita Aeterna, the O Canada and the Alle Menschen werden Brüder themes respectively. The movement culminates first into a jubilant merging of the Alle Menschen werden Brüder and the O Canada themes, and finally into the global anthem, the melody of which had already appeared in the ninth movement.
Writing this composition has been made possible thanks to a grant from the Dutch Fonds voor de Podiumkunsten (Fund for Podium Arts), for which I would like to express my sincere gratitude.
