Henri Seroka

Although he began his career as a singer, he is known mostly for his compositions, especially film music, and for composing Belgium's official song for the 1984 Olympic Games.

His father was Polish and served under General Stanisław Maczek during World War II, while his mother was German.

In 2004 he composed Credo, a five-part classical piece for full orchestra and choir.

It was performed several times, including on 1 September 2006 in a Berlin church and on 15 October 2006 in the Basilica of Jasna Góra.

The concerts were held in memory of General Stanisław Maczek and the Polish 1st Armoured Division.
