My Choice - Zejtun: Danube Waves, Ivanovici

Danube Waves, a Waltz composed by Iosef (Josef) Ivanovici, the Romanian "Johann Strauss". Other than the Danube Waves (sometimes known as The Anniversay Song), none of his other music is known and has never been recorded. We're showing photos of the Village of Żejtun, a very old and beautiful village with many old houses, quaint narrow roads, a beautiful church and full of history. All photos taken by Choy Hong (Jasmine) Grech. The Composer, Iosef Ivanovici, was born in 1845 in Timisoara, Romania. He first learned to play the flute given to him as a child by a sympathetic old man, and on growing up he enrolled in the 6th Army Regiment based in Galati where he also learned to play the clarinet under Alois Riedl. His gift and passion for music soon led him to become one of the best musicians in his regiment. Żejtun is a medium sized town in the south of Malta. Żejtun holds the title of Città Beland, which was bestowed by Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim, Grandmaster of Knights of Malta in 1797, Beland being his mother's surname. Żejtun takes its name from the Sicilian Arabic for "olive" -- zaytun (cognate of Spanish "aceituna" and Portuguese "azeitona") -- one of the main productive industries in Malta. It is also known as Ħal-Bisbut, or Casal Bisbut. In Medieval times the whole district around Żejtun, that is the southern end of Malta, was known as le Terre di Santa Caterina, ( Italian for 'the lands of Saint Catherine', Italian being the official language in the period). The local militia regiment of Żejtun was one of the first to engage the Ottoman forces in the initial stages of the Great Siege of 1565, but the town continued to suffer attacks by Turkish pirates up to 1614, when an attack by the Turks was repulsed without aid from other militias. The town served a minor role in the French Blockade of 1799/1801 as a depot for soldiers. It was one of the first towns in Malta, outside the main fortified areas of Malta, to boast a Public Garden. This garden, the Luqa Briffa Garden, still stands today. It is named after a famous cavalryman during the Great Siege of Malta.
