This composition is based on the march from Henry Purcell’s Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, a work written in 1694. In this fantasia, various movements flow from one to the next following the main theme; these movements not onlyelaborate on the theme, but also contrast with it. At times, the thematic material diverges so much, that the work acquires a character of its own; however, the composer often refers back to fragments of the theme. This work was test piece in the 4thdivision of the Dutch National Brass Band Championships (NBK) in 2017.

Deze compositie is gebaseerd op de mars uit Henry Purcells Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, een werk uit het jaar 1694. In deze fantasia wordt het hoofdthema gevolgd door verschillende in elkaar overgaande delen die voortborduren op hetthema of er een contrast mee vormen. Alhoewel het thematisch materiaal soms zodanig afwijkt dat het werk een geheel eigen karakter krijgt, grijpt de componist toch steeds weer terug op flarden van het origineel. Dit werk was het verplichte werk op deNederlandse Brassband Kampioenschappen (NBK), 2017 vierde divisie.

Die Komposition basiert auf dem Marsch aus Henry Purcells Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, einem Werk, das 1694 komponiert wurde. Auf das Hauptthema der Fantasie folgen verschiedene, ineinander übergehende Sätze. In den Sätzen wirdjedoch nicht nur das Thema weiterentwickelt, sondern sie bilden zugleich einen Gegensatz zu dem Thema. Auch wenn das thematische Material manchmal so stark voneinander abweicht, dass das Werk einen ganz eigenen Charakter erhält, kehrt der Komponistimmer wieder zu Fragmenten des Themas zurück. Das Werk war 2017 Pflichtstück in der Leistungsklasse 4 bei den Dutch National Brass Band Championships (NBK).

Mother Teresa liked to surprise people she met by giving them a small card printed with five concise sentences instead of a calling card. The brief text on the card beginning with the line “The fruit of silence is prayer” was a summary of her vision of devout, peace-promoting philanthropy in poetical form. In 2013, I created a musical setting of Mother Teresa's “Prayer of Peace” which was commissioned by the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival for mixed choir a cappella (C 55851) in the form of a densely woven elegiac sound stream. Slightly later, I extended the work to produce a version with piano (C 56345) which in turn became the basis for a setting scored for mixed choir with string orchestra which was first performed in Riga in October 2014. In 2015, the versions for piano quintet (ED 22450) and string quartet (ED 22723) also permitted my musical setting of Mother Teresa's words to be performed without choir in two traditional genres of chamber music. The current published version for mixed choir and organ extends the work series through a further conventional scoring.
