Sketch recording pilgrim’s song

On June 21, the walk of wisdom will be opened and will also be the premiere of a pilgrim’s song written especially for the route by Mark Schilders. The song only has a refrain: Go pilgrim go, your first step is a dream and an action. The opening on 21 June will be a grand departure ritual for the first 75 pilgrims with the cooperation of the mayor of Nijmegen, Hubert Bruls. The pilgrims leave the church in procession to the accompaniment of this song. Here are the first – rough – recordings of a rehearsal. Want to sing along?

Text: Go pilgrim go, your first step is a dream and a deed.
