EDITORS COMMENTS
Joyeuse Entree: A Triumphant Celebration of King Albert's Entry into Brussels, 1909 This elegant music cover, titled "Joyeuse Entree: Marche Brilliante" (Joyful Entry: Brilliant March), was composed by Alidor Thiry in commemoration of a significant historical event in Belgian royalty. The image on the cover depicts King Albert I of Belgium, proudly riding on horseback, leading his troops through the triumphant entry into Brussels on December 23, 1909. King Albert's return to Brussels was a cause for great celebration. After his election as King of the Belgians on February 17, 1909, he had traveled to Germany to meet with the German Emperor, Wilhelm II, to negotiate the terms of Belgium's neutrality in the ongoing European power struggle. The successful negotiations paved the way for a peaceful resolution, and King Albert's return to Brussels was met with jubilation by the Belgian people. The cover art features King Albert in full regalia, wearing a sash, uniform, and crown, surrounded by his soldiers, who salute him with raised arms. The image is accompanied by the title "Joyeuse Entree" and the subtitle "Marche Brilliante," reflecting the joyful and brilliant nature of the celebration. The cover also bears the price of 1 Franc and the publisher's name, Valery, and the composer's name, Alidor Thiry. This music cover is a captivating snapshot of a moment in history, showcasing the grandeur and pageantry of Belgian royalty during the early 1900s. The image and title evoke a sense of pride, celebration, and triumph, making it an intriguing and historically significant piece of art and music.
