The text is built from phrases by Samuel Beckett. You can hear a lot of musical quotes in the piece - Ravel's La Valse, Stravinsky's Sacre Du
Printemps...
Speaking of La Valse:

I fell head-over-heels in love with Gabriel Knight 3 when I played it, as soon as I heard the theme music...
And here it is performed by an actual orchestra!

Not sure if these qualify as cool but these are songs we heard on a show Dad likes to watch.

In celebration of my visit to De Efteling, here are some of my favourite Efteling musics:
In the early days of the theme park, Efteling only used existing music - mainly old, rights-free music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG8QCjaw4yk
Danse Macabre, by Saint-Saëns - my absolute #1 most favourite music ever. When I was at the haunted castle last Sunday, I had to cry hearing this.
Some fairy tales had music on the background of the story - most famously a piece by Ketelby, In The Moonlight: Efteling made a nasty mistake and
published CDs for years with another piece by Ketelby before they noticed that this wasn't actually the music played. There's also a harp
concert by Boieldieu that is used for both the snoozy 20 minute boat ride Gondoletta and the fairy tale The Little Mermaid. And the Frog King fountain
is accompanied by Eric Coates's By The Sleepy Lagoon. An interesting one is Sanai Gath, for the Gardener And The Fakir - Indian classical music.
Nevertheless Efteling had some music of its own - the Wooden Shoe dance of the Red Shoes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lAo-LEYeOw
Yma Sumac - Taita Inty is briefly heard as the ugly witch who sings so beautifully she lures fairies to their doom, from the Indian Waterlilies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGmR2dJSDvo
The rest of the Waterlilies we get to listen to Bert Kaempfert - Afrikaan Beat.
By the 1980s, Efteling allowed its first and only ride to be completely created by a non-Efteling company - the love-it-or-hate-it Carnaval Festival,
a comedy version of It's A Small World. The theme was written by Toon Hermans, a Dutch comedian who couldn't read music or play an instrument. The
tune was arranged in rich form by Ruud Bos, starting a 14-year partnership between the bombastic composer and the fairy tale park.
In 1988 Fata Morgana was opened. For this Arabian-themed darkride Ruud Bos wrote 5 tunes. The Harem is particularly loved.

In 1993 Efteling won the Battle Of The Darkrides with Droomvlucht, with a lot of fairies and elves and trolls and unicorns and baby deer and flowers
and plants and squirrels and bunnies and I feel diabetic...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdhrlYseP_E
In 1996, Ruud Bos could stretch his bombastic wings with Villa Volta - world's first madhouse.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpqH8KzQ3O0
Villa Volta queue music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ygAX5dXamA
Villa Volta main show
This music caught me so strongly, I spent the way home humming the melody because I never wanted to forget it. Getting out of the car, I was still
singing it - hanging up my coat on the rack, I'd forgotten it. Blast.
In 1997 Efteling built an indoor roller coaster to cater thrill-ride freaks. The music by Ruud Bos is a beloved hit straight away.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02NSH93N0vY Theme park version
Sadly Bos's music for the entire park was refused. It was the last time he'd work for Efteling.
At some point Efteling started to work with Merkelbach, whose sounds I can't stand - although the 30 second theme of the Witte Wieven in Baron 1898 is
haunting.

Efteling has a fountain show, Aquanura, for which they had some of their music re-recorded:
