Composer Ron van Riel was inspired by the life story of Maurits van Oranje (1567-1625). At the age of eighteen, Maurits followed in his father's footsteps when he became stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland and Utrecht, and of the regions Gelderland and Overijssel years later. Maurits was a brilliant military strategist and thanks to his reforms, the Spaniards were kept at bay. Prince Maurice describes the triumphs and the wars he endured. Performed by Banda Sinfónica da Polícia de Segurança Pública. Conductor: Subintendente Ferreira Brito For more information: https://www.molenaar.com/details/1/20732/en
