Voor Spanish Triptych liet Jan de Haan zich inspireren door de Spaanse oostkust, de omgeving waar hij zich sinds 1991 terugtrekt om te componeren. Dit omvangrijke drieluik opent met Pénon de Ifach, de indrukwekkendehoge rots die nabij het plaatsje Calpe uit zee rijst. Vervolgens neemt de componist ons mee naar San Jaime, een rustig stadje in de heuvels nabij het vissersdorp Moraira. Het uitzicht op het gebergte Sierra de Berniavormde de bron van inspiratie voor het gelijknamige slotdeel, dat qua vorm aan een passacaglia doet denken.

Jan de Haan komponierte Spanish Triptych im Jahre 1997 aus Anlaß des 75-jährigen Bestehens des Musikvereines Hijenoord aus Arnheim.Spanish Triptych ist ein dreiteiliges Werk.Es beginnt mit Pénon de Lfach worin der eindrucksvolle 327 Meter hohe Felsen, der sich in der Nähe des Städtchen Calpe aus dem Meer erhebt, beschrieben wird. Der zweite Teil beschreibt Eindrücke von San Jaime, einem ruhigen Städtchen in den Hügeln, nahe des Fischerdorfes Moraira, wo der Komponist seine kompositorische Arbeit verrichtet. Hier ließ er sich auch von der Aussicht auf des Gebirge Sierra de Berniainspirieren, was im passacaglia-ähnlichen Schlußteil desWekes zum Ausdruck kommt.

â??I already wrote the Concerto for Guitar, Tympani and Strings for the outstanding Polish guitarist Lukasz Kuropaczewski. The 'Triptych' for guitar solo is my second work for this interpreter. The individual titles of the 'Triptych' movements â?? Fantasia, Aria and Impromptu furioso â?? refer to the characters of the individual movements. I completed 'Triptych' for guitar solo in December 2014. The piece is permeated by double contrasts: in terms of harmony, the guitar's own mood and sound world are contrasted with my harmonic thinking. In terms of technique, on the other hand, performance gestures of the Flamenco tradition are contrasted with those of the practice of classical guitar playing. The dialogue between different harmonic and historical levels can thus be discovered through a complex, clearly demarcated discourse. The performance duration of the work is about 15 minutes.â? (Krzysztof Meyer).

Returning to his first love, the piano, this piece, composed in 1970. The three pieces forming the Triptych are a Meditation, a Dramatic Recitative and a Capriccio. The Meditation is naturally reflective, but not unduly introspective; the drama in the Recitative rests on the contrast between rhetorical statements and bravura passages; the Capriccio is carried on a vivacious rhythmic pulse and ends with brilliance. It is dedicated to Louis Kentner with admiration and gratitude - the admiration is for his playing, and the gratitude for the help he gave during the recording of my piano sonata by Marguerite Wolff. ~ Sir Arthur Bliss.
