Additional info/contents	Pierius Magnus is a historical figure from Friesland, a peasant and rebel against the Dutch oppressors around 1500. Whether hero or barbarian can simply not be proven beyond doubt today, but the composer simply found the story too exciting not to use it as a source of inspiration. In Pierius Magnus, the national hero is introduced right at the beginning of the work with a capricious theme, followed by his bunch "De Arumer Swarte Heap". Then-before the battle begins-a moment of calm occurs before Pier and his troop go into battle. The work ends with the back of the disillusioned Pierius. Grutte Pier (Big Pier); De Arumer Swarte Heap (The Arumer Black Heap); It Fryske lān fol eare en rom (The Frisian land of honour and glory); It krśs fan de Hollanner (The Cross of the Hollanders); Būter, brea en griene tsiis (Butter, rye bread and green cheese); Nae myn Heer ta (To my Lord)
