In my home country, the Netherlands, the town of Amsterdam encompasses a suburb called Mokum. It used to be a town of its own.

Dutch children get taught a song called "Brand in Mokum" (Mokum Burning), deploring the lack of water in that town, watching it burn from afar.

I have used this same traditional song as the basis for the jazz tune sampled on this web page. The tune features only 3 voices: a melody, a bass, and a drum set. A PDF with the full score is available for free.
