On May 4 each year the Dutch honour all members of the military and civilians who have died in war situations or peacekeeping missions since the outbreak of World War 2; and on May 5 there is a celebration of the 1945 capitulation of German forces in the Second World War. In acknowledgement of these special days and of our country’s friendship with The Netherlands, today’s organ music is by Dutch composers – Jan Zwart (1877-1937) and Albert de Klerk (1917-1998).
