A Dragon's Tale tells the tale of the dragon of Kraków: 

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, a fire-breathing dragon lived in a cave at the foot of the Wawel Hill in Kraków, near the river Wisła. According to legend, this dragon terrorised the region: it devoured the peasants' cattle, and sometimes even demanded young maidens to be sacrificed. Many brave knights made valiant attempts to defeat the dragon – but to no avail. One day, the clever young shoemaker Skuba invented a ruse to defeat the dragon. He filled a dead sheep with sulphur, laid it in front of the cave and waited for the dragon to emerge and gobble up the sheep. The sulphur caught fire due to the sparks in the dragon's mouth, whereupon the dragon drank so much water from the river that it eventually exploded. Kraków was freed from the terrifying dragon, and Skuba, of course, was welcomed as a hero!

Nowadays, an impressive statue of the Wawel dragon stands at the entrance to the cave, as a symbol of courage, resourcefulness, and the victory of good over evil. 

With A Dragon's Tale, Filip Ceunen won the 2023 VLAMO International Composition Contest.

Mount Olympus (Home of the Gods) was commissioned by the Groot Genker Orkest from Genk (Belgium) on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. In the context of this composition, Mount Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, can be seen as a reference to the Zwarte Berg (Black Mountain) in Genk, that, with its rolling hills and lush nature, is also a place of inspiration and contemplation – which prompted the composer to write this attractive work, in which various facets of the mythological mountain Olympus are represented.

Interview about my composition 'The Flood' in response to the 'VLOF 2024'.

Many thanks to CU Brass and Richard Schroevers.

This wonderful concert work takes us on a journey through time to the Roman Empire. The composer was inspired by the famous Via Sacra, once the main road through ancient Rome between the Colosseum and the Capitolium. Along the route were several important temples and sanctuaries – hence the name, meaning Sacred Street. Full of atmosphere, this dynamic work has something to offer for all sections of the band, so that playing fun is guaranteed. And of course, it is great to listen to as well!
