Carl Wittrock: Trimbeka: Fanfare Band: ScoreFormat : Score Trimbeka is a composition which owes its existence to the anniversary of music society de Vlecke in Gorredijk. The name Gorredijk originates from goor or gor which means : bog. Along the marshy peat ran a dijk (the Dutch word for dike) called the Gordijk. The name of the village resembles that of the home town of the composer himself who comes from a town in Twente called Goor. Three streams used to run through the area around Gorredijk. the historical name Trimbeets (Trimbeka) meaning three brooks recalls this to mind. Gorredijk was a flourishing Vlecke i.e. large village which was situated on an intersection of important connecting roads.The liveliness which this entailed is one of the distinctive elements in Trimbeka. Furthermore ominous sounds possibly refer to the dangers of the bog while the resonance of the merriment during the annual fair can also be heard. The slow middle movement is an ode to the beautiful landscape surrounding the village.
