'Villa Volta' is the name of an attraction in the amusement park 'de Efteling' at Kaatsheuvel (The Netherlands). According to popular belief, the 'Bokkenrijders' (Goat Riders) were ghosts flying through the air sitting on a goat and penetrating the houses of the scared people. The name was adopted by a gang of robbers that ravaged the southern parts of The Netherlands in the 18th century. Ruud Bos wrote this thrilling composition that has been skilfully arranged by Anton Weeren.

[FR]
'Villa Volta' est le nom d'une attraction au parc d'attraction 'De Efteling' à Kaatsheuvel aux Pays-Bas. Il appartenait à des figures légendaires dont la croyance populaire disait qu'ils se déplaçaient au moyen de boucs volants et qu'ils pénétraient dans toutes les maisons. Leur nom « Bokkenrijders » (littéralement cavaliers de boucs') ou « Chèvraliers » a été repris par des bandes de brigands qui ravageaient le Sud des Pays-Bas au 18ème siècle. Ruud Bos a écrit cette composition captivante et Anton Weeren signe l'orchestration experte.

Villa Volta is de naam van een attractie in de Efteling te Kaatsheuvel. 'Dit huis, dit vervloekte huis...' Zo begint 'bokkenrijder' Hugo van den Loonsche Duynen zijn drieste testimonium. De naam werd overgenomen door roversbendes die in de loop van de achttiende eeuw zuidelijk Nederland teisterden. Ruud Bos schreef deze spannende compositie en werd vakkundig gearrangeerd door Anton Weeren.
