In keeping with the theme of a \u201cworld exhibition\u201d on the one hand, and the great popularity of the final chorus in Japan on the other, I decided to compose this musical joke. The variations should definitely be announced humorously, for which I provide some suggestions in the sheet music. Of course, it is also a good idea to let the audience guess the respective countries. In any case, I wish the performers much fun and enjoyment with this musical joke.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-196940-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Goetterfunken-Globalized.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Goetterfunken-Globalized.mp3\">https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Goetterfunken-Globalized.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Willi Maerz&#8217;s <i>Goetterfunken-Globalized<\/i> is for four pedal harps.
