Inhalt / Content:

In dieser Komposition in sechs Sätzen führt uns André Waignein die Geschichte eines furchtbaren Racheplans belgischer Bauern im 18. Jahrhundert vor Augen. Der schrecklichen Ereignisse ungeachtet, zählt der Ort der Handlung aber auch zu den schönsten Regionen Belgiens. Beides spiegelt sich in diesem beeindruckenden Werk wieder.
