Fidelium Fanfare combining a clear thematic frameworkFidelium was composed on behalf of the De Wilde family for H. M. V. 'Prins Bernhard' Emst and in memory of Wim de Wilde. The composition is based on 'Groot is Uw trouw' which was performed by 'Prins Bernhard' during the farewell service on Saturday 12 January 2019.
