Michel van Delft should be considered as the inventor of the so-called 'play-ins'. These are meetings lasting for one or several days and gathering musicians from several wind bands into one big occasional wind band with the sole aim of making music together. This hymn is a symbol for the friendships that grow very spontaneously at those musical meetings.
