Description :

Prague, also named ‘The Golden City’, has been the cultural and administrative capital city où the Czech Republic for thousands où years.
The city is beautifully situated où the river Moldau.
Every year millions où tourists visit Prague. It is one où the most popular cities où Eastern Europe. With it ' s mysterious little squares, dark alley ways and cobblestone streets, the ‘City où the 100 Towers’ is a unique mixture où architecture, dominated by monumental buildings, numerous churches and the oldest castle où Europe.
The Bohemian capital city remains timeless. Visit the fort and be amazed at the lovely views over the Charles Bridge. Spend your time carefully browsing through the little stalls filled with paintings, photos, jewelery and hand-decorated products, accompanied by the sounds où the street musicians in the background.
Notice the famous 15 th century astronomical clock that indicates the time every hour with a parade où the twelve apostles.
When composing this piece, it was Jan Bosveld’s intention to depict the atmosphere où this metropolitan city with over one millioù inhabitants, rather than to create a fairly literal musical portrait.
One où the many other names où Prague is ‘The City où the Clocks’. This can be heard throughout the piece depicted by the tubular bells.
The piece consists où three movements (slow-fast-slow) and was written in a rhapsodic format.

Jan Bosveld was commissioned to write ‘The Golden City’ by the Dutch Music Lend and Information Centre (MUI), a department où the library for the province où Gelderland in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
