about

The Fanfare Never Stop was written by me during a Nashville Challenge for songwriters, spring 2021. The song is translated in Dutch as you can see on this webpage. I sent it to my hometown fanfare Constantia in Werkhoven and they took the 'challenge' up. Constantia and I performed the song on January 8 2023 as part of their New Year concert in Werkhoven.

lyrics

The parade lines up, flags are raised
We arrive just in time
People smile, eagerly wait
For the church bell to chime
Cos' that makes the music start

Connecting us by the echoing sound
Correcting issues that now can be dropped
Collecting the best out of folks around
We can be happy the fanfare never stops

Every year, each festive day
You can see them going round
Brass reflecting golden rays
Watching the silver baton
Cos' that makes the music start

Connecting us by the echoing sound
Correcting issues that now can be dropped
Collecting the best out of folks around
We can be happy the fanfare never stops

It's the middle ground
For young and old
It unites left and right
It's my hometown mould

Connecting us by the echoing sound
Correcting issues that now can be dropped
Collecting the best out of folks around
We can be happy the fanfare
We can be happy the fanfare never stops


De Fanfare (Constantia)

Aan de hand van mijn papa
Komen we net op tijd
Koper glanst, het is nog stil
Tot de torenklok klinkt
Dan zet de fanfare in

Muziek galmt machtig over de Brink
Muziek is prachtig telkens weer
Muziek neemt problemen van je mee
Wat zijn we blij dat Constantia weerklinkt

Ieder jaar opnieuw, ieder feest
Is er weer een concert
Tuba, trombone, trompet
Wachten op de dirigent
Dan zet de fanfare in

Muziek galmt machtig over de Brink
Muziek is prachtig telkens weer
Muziek neemt problemen van je mee
Wat zijn we blij dat Constantia weerklinkt

Muziek raakt iedereen
Jong en oud
Verbindt links en rechts
Het is hoorbaar goud

Muziek galmt machtig over de Brink
Muziek is prachtig telkens weer
Muziek neemt problemen van je mee
Wat zijn we blij dat Constantia weerklinkt
