According to this publication, Ledeganck&#039;s poem is based on a poem in French by the Belgian poet [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_Van_Hasselt André Van Hasselt] (1806-1874).&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Nothing is known about the composition process, but it is certain that the ballad was registered by SABAM on 9 March 1948.&lt;ref&gt;Stamp on the soprano part (cf. &#039;&#039;sources&#039;&#039;).&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *During the Ledeganck commemoration in the Ghent Conservatory on 23 November 1947, this composition was performed for the first time by the choir of the B.N.R.O. (the present [https://www.vlaamsradiokoor.be Vlaams Radiokoor]) conducted by Jan Van Bouwel.&lt;ref&gt;Anonymous: &#039;&#039;Ledeganckherdenking&#039;&#039; in &#039;&#039;De Gentenaar&#039;&#039; of 22 November 1947, p.7.
