The author led the students of the wind band club of our school to organize and perform a concert. One of the pieces was Saga Candida. This piece of music is based on Jef Mellemns' play Zaad van Satan (The Seed of Satan) and was performed by a new Belgian composer.

The original opera version is sung entirely in Dutch and has beautiful melodies. It is a rare masterpiece. In terms of music interpretation, in order to allow the wind band students to be more integrated into the musical situation, body rhythm courses are specially arranged, and plot introductions are conducted in the preparation stage.
