Not really, most fraternities already sing this on their cantus. It's pretty common
A choir and an organ, here's a powerful combination.
Yeah boy 😎
have you heard of church
@@turperper7494 I was thinking it sounded like a church song
Go to reformed church in holland and u hear this combination every sunday.
Also there are some great manchoirs in holland, specially from the small town Urk: they are called: 'urker mannenkoren'. If you love the combination of a choit and an organ, you gonna love these manchoirs.
Historical fact: After the fall of the Netherlands to the Germans, the government and the Queen escaped to the UK, where they formed "Radio Orange/Oranje", which was a radio station which had contact with the Dutch Resistance. In the first broadcast, this song was played, followed by a speech from the Queen.

Well not very populistic though... I understand her children fled, but she should've stayed because King/Queen is a symbol of the people. I don't think she would've gotten killed though since German leadership admired other countries leaders not fleeing
@@mcj2219 They would’ve been used for propaganda purposes, they were right to flee. We should’ve just flooded the place as we have always done, we were weak and therefor they managed to occupy us.
@@GigaChadlovesandcares My point is that a King or Queen should always stay with their people (het volk). Also flooding the Netherlands wouldn't have been profitable since the Netherlands was losing anyways
@@GigaChadlovesandcares well a bunch of the political ppl from other countries like belgium were executed or used for the nazi propoganda machine. The queen fuelled the dutch resistance till the end of the with this broadcast. She also provided real information to the people to effectively cripple nazi propaganda in the Netherlands.
Imagine being a soldier from the warm and sunny land of Spain, and you are now in the cold, dark, and swampy lands of Holland.

Many do not realize how the Dutch army of the Eighty Years War in the 16th and 17th centuries influenced military tactics and organization to this very day. Maurice of Nassau made the Dutch army professional and won many victories against the Spanish. He invented the Battalion and many military leaders of the Thirty Years War and English Civil War learned their trade in his army. The Dutch military system influenced the Army of Louis XIV. Marshal Turenne, one of Louis XIV's best generals, was himself Dutch, and started his military career in the Dutch army.
Flandes was Spanish and you lost many battles against us. You could only win because all Europe was against Spain and we had to maintain the whole empire.
@@alejandrocastillo9819 All of Europe was not against Spain. The Hapsburgs controlled the entire Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire (at least part of it). And the Hapsburgs had the aid of the Papacy and many Roman Catholic states. Plus they supposedly had the best army in Europe.
The problem was that the Hapsburgs were trying to hold on to the old Medieval world and the Protestants were moving on towards a new Modern world. Trying to hold on to the past is a very difficult thing to do. Not a good strategy.
@@alejandrocastillo9819 tell me you're Spanish without telling you're Spanish
@@alejandrocastillo9819 we owned spain back then and we will own them now.😏🤣
@@scottleary8468 I can say this and I am Spanish, we fought a war which was only about Habsburg supremacy in Europe and against Spanish interests in many ways, Spanish soldiers died far from home to defend a land which was never attached to Spain. Even with that in mind we fought well and heroically in many cases but we lost because the Dutch changed and the military conceptions of the time as you pointed out, we Spanish had the best army in Europe yes, but in that moment was when Spain stopped being the hegemon of Europe, no need of petty nationalism, is just truth and History that we rose and fall as a great power as everyone.

Much better flag actually including the orange in which is literally the Netherlands famous colour...
I get why they got rid of it since they were no longer rules by the house of Orange but it just looked so much better with it
yeah, the darker blue gets me too!
@@idonhaveanyideawhattocallm1472 The House of Orange-Nassau still rules over the Netherlands to this day and orange is still part of the national colors because of that.
The reason why they initially went to red was because the orange would fade too much while at sea.
While there was some debate about the flag's colors in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the fact that the Dutch National Socialist Movement used the Orange-White-Blue "Prinsenvlag" as their flag kinda tarnished its reputation.
@@halorecon95 So it's not used because a single group of unpopular people used it for a small amount of time...what a truly politically correct world we live in.
@@britannicgeneral7460 well, it's still used by the far right these days, from the literal fascist NVU to the ultranationalists of the PVV and the FvD. another reason it was replaced besides orange fading quickly is that red dye is waaaaaaayyyy cheaper. Orange dye was quite expensive. in the 30s it was Queen Wilhelmina of the House of Orange-Nassau who by decree announced that the flag was red white blue, not orange white blue.

I’m just thinking of an epic scenario. A lonely group of Spanish soldiers are walking through a misty dutch landscape, the only thing they can see are some trees and some giants windmills towering over them. It’s a very quiet day until they hear chants in the distance, it’s keep getting louder and eventually they can hear music too. After a while they see something horrifying for them, they see big sticks with flags emerging from the mist and later they start seeing soldiers. They giant wall of soldiers completely fills in their vision, eventually all they can see are thousands of soldiers marching and chanting towards them while loud music plays and the soldiers singing to it. Then they realize that the revolution is getting started. All the Spanish soldiers can do is stay still horrified while listing to their patriotic song.

@R Honestly
As a fellow Hollander I wonder why this is not our national anthem yet. This one shows a fraction of the Dutch battle for independence, and the pride they took in not being Spaniards, the current one features Willem van Oranje still being loyal to the Spanish king- which makes no sense if you don't know the historical context around it.
@@Ned-nw6ge Oh, the traitor of Willem and his protestant scum remember that a small part of the Dutch population supported the rebellion, while most of the dutch people remained loyal to the Hispanic crown, Willem just wanted his own country because he was having economic troubles, its nothing about liberty, or that things, it was just the local royalty interests that brought that unuseful war.

This could have been the Dutch National Anthem,.. but you probably won't believe me when I say that the current Anthem (the oldest in the wordl) contains the sentence ; _'I_ _have_ _always_ _honered_ _the_ _king_ _of_ _Spain'._
@@Michiel_de_Jong Context is important though. It's specifically referring to how we now no longer honor the Spanish king, supportive of having our own identity.
@@exitspree | You're right of course. Context matters. Part of the historical context was a debate about the question when the government (Philips II, in that case) would lose its legitimate authority. This debate was settled 10 years after the composing of the national anthem when the 'Declaration of Independence' (Acte van Verlathinge) was signed, apparently. The war was already going on for 13 years, mainly for reasons of religious freedom,.. but it became a war of independence a decade after the composing of the national anthem. Note that the phrase was not; "I will always honor the King of Spain"... With hindsight the wording was already ominous.
@@Michiel_de_Jong Thanks. I didn't know about that. I assumed my position based on the events that led to our independence, but I stand corrected.
We Dutch people are kinda traumatized by Spannish UN reconstruction missions back in the day, these songs help us deal with that.

During the Boeren oorlog 1899_1902 our forefathers sang this song every time they went into battle against the Brittish army.Ik ben een trotse Zuid Afrikaner.ÉÉN VOLK ÉÉN NATIE ÉÉN GOD
Zo is het Voor God, volk en natie

That's quite a performance, it sounds really good. It gives you a sense of what it was like back then, so very long ago.
holy shit, i didn't expect it to sound so dark.. digging it though.
It is a war song. Imagine hearing this on the ships of a fleet approaching at night...
@drinkme6803 the german patriotic songs sound so bright and uplifting compared to this, so i was totally not expecting this lol.
Damn, that "hoort de spaenche drommels slaen" part hit hard everytime
Wow, just wow. I am Dutch and this song gave me goosebumps.
Na de triomfante zege van de Partij voor de Vrijheid, wie onder ons zou dit als ons glorieuze nieuwe volkslied beschouwen?
Played this is New York, now it's Nieuw-Amsterdam again
Finally! Ive known this song but ingen finally uploaded it.
I don't even know what i'm doing here, i'm not even european.
But this is really good, it really sounds poweful.
Welcome. This song was actually recorded by the choir of my (small) hometown of Kampen. Funny to see them here, as I know some of the people who are singing
You don't have to be european to appreciate good music :)
Nog niet eerder gehoord dit, heel mooi!
This song is about as long ago as the last time a road was maintained in Belgium
My grandmother and her family fought defending the Netherlands against the Germans during ww2. I think this song should not just be a military song but the national song of the Netherlands, this song is about the bravery, courage and strength of the Netherlands.

Not gonna lie, this one gave me goosebumps and I'm not even Dutch
Aangezien het tegenwoordig een traditie is, ik heb nog steeds geen herstelbetalingen van de Spanjaarden gekregen
This is the first time a song has given me goosebumps
As a northern German I understand most of the lyrics.
Then you probably will also understand Gronings
Then Dutch is pretty easy ig. Our words are kind of similar to german
