- The Festival Singers always dress for the occasion and offer good
entertainment.
Sing along
with the
Festival
Singers
One of the highlights of the
Clinton Klompen Feest is when
the audience has the opportuni-,
ty to sing along with The
Festival Singers.
The Festival singers put on
their Dutch attire, practice the
oldies but goodies and perform
to the best of their capabilities.
And their best is usually good
enough.
If you want to join in some
good old fashioned Dutch sing-
ing, or-_ if you just want to sit
back and take in the entertain-
ment, be sure to be at the Clin-
ton Arena at 8:30 and 9:30 p.m.
on May 15.
A fewsongs that may be sung
at Klompen Feest this year are
listed below.
The Dutch national anthem,
usually called Het . Wihelmus,
has 15 verses. Each verse
begins with the letters of the
name WILLEM VAN NASSAU.
It was written about William of
Nassau (Prince of Orange) in
the mid 1500s. Normally the
first and sixth verses are sung.
William of Orange was the
first Dutch "monarch" or
Stadholder -of - the House of
Orange 1558: He led a revolt
against Spanish rule in
Holland. -
Wilhelinus
Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
Ben ik van Duitse bloed,
De Vaderland getrouwe
Blijf ik tot in de dood,
Een Prinse-van Oranje
Ben ik vrij onverveerd,
De Koning van Hispanje
Heb ik altijd geeerd
Myn schild en myn-betrouwen
Zijt gij, o God, mijn Heer!
Op U zo wil ik bouwen,
