Ancient Tales Commissioned by Fanfare Ellona Ell (NL) in honor of her centenary in 2023 "Ancient Tales" was written by composer Kevin Houben in honor of the 100th anniversary of Fanfare Ellona, an authentic village association from Ell that values fun and community. The piece is a musical representation of some of the legends and sagas that took place in and around the rural village of Ell, which probably owes its name to the many alder trees that shaped the landscape around the 15th century. The somewhat mysterious beginning of the work refers to the story of the sunken church in Weerbroekskuil, where, according to legend, bells can be heard ringing on Christmas night and ghosts in the form of lights can be seen hovering over the moor. Here the chorale composed by Houben for this work is presented, which runs like a red thread through the composition in the form of melodic cells and motivic developments. It then continues with serene, dynamic passages, alternating with lyrical and quieter sections. With some surprising melodic twists and metrical variations, Houben refers to the turbulent history that the citizens of Ell lived through at the time of the 80 Years' War, when the farmland was plagued by marauding soldiers and criminals. With the construction of the Ellerschan, the Ellers demonstrated their resilience, to which the composer refers by repeatedly resorting to cheerful and danceable themes, which give the whole a cheerful character through a refreshing choice of metre. "Ancient Tales" is a charming and energetic composition that awakens joy in many orchestra members and will appeal to a wide audience. In addition, the work offers enough challenges for each instrument group and is therefore suitable as a competition piece. Therefore, "Ancient Tales" was chosen by Vlamo as a mandatory test piece for VLOF 2024.
