Voor Valerius Variations is de bekende melodie gebruikt van Merck toch hoe sterck,waarvan de tekst vertelt over de Nederlandse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog tegen Spanje.Variati onen über eine Melodie von Adriaen Valerius Philip Sparke entdeckte die Melodie, die er in Valerius Variations verwendete, in einer Sammlung des holländischen Poeten und Künstlers Adriaen Valerius aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. In Valerius’ Sammlung gehörte sie zu einem Lied über den holländischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg mit Spanien, Valerius selbst nennt als Quelle ein Lied namens Comediantendans und zuvor wurde sie vermutlich schon von englischen Seeleuten gesungen. Philip Sparke setzte die bewegte Geschichte dieser offensichtlich über Jahrhunderte allseits beliebten Melodie mit dieser Variationsreihe fort.L’art ista e poeta olandese Adriaen (Adrianus) Valerius (ca. 1575-1625) deve la sua notoriet ad una raccolta di 79 canti poetici per voce, liuto o chitarra raccolti in un’opera postuma pubblicata nel 1626 con il nome di Nederlantsche Gedenck-clank (Memorie sonore olandesi).

Not a great deal is known about the life of the artist and poet Adriaen Valerius (ca. 1575 - 1625). He is mostly remembered today for his collection of 79 songs for voice and lute (or cittern) called the Nederlandtsche Gedenck-clanck (literally Netherlands sound memories). The book is a collection of his poems, set to already-existing popular melodies, and is significant in that it is one of the earliest published sources of the Wilhelmus, the Dutch National Anthem. The book gained national popularity during the long war with Spain, a popularity that was revived for similar reasons during German occupation in World War II.
