Les Marteaux de La Marine was composed in 1999 as a commission by the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

The composition contains three static elements which interchange. Static in this case means that development of the material isnot pursued (by the composer).
The first element with which the piece begins is tranquil and colourful. The second element is sharp and incisive, while the third expresses energy. In all elements a repeated tone is the starting point whichexplains the hammers in the works title.The instrumentation is richly variegated with a harp also determining the palette of colours in the slower movements.

The composition opens with an atmospheric Larghetto containing fine harmonies in thesoft and subtly moving wood-winds. The introduction breathes an impressionistic atmosphere in which expressive cantilenas and soloistic agile motifs stand out. A strong setting is followed by an Allegro virtuoso containing fast motifs contrasted withshort and rhythmic stars of the various instrumental sections. Trumpets and horns add a virtuoso bugle-call motif.
After a short stringendosection, the transparent Larghetto returns with a varied setting of the opening elements. The beautifulleading roles in this section are reserved for cornet (trumpet) and horn. Subsequently, the flashing Vivo starts with continuous movements in triplets from both wood-winds and brass. Next, the opening Allegro re-appears once again and thus LesMarteaux de la Marine ends with a fast and virtuoso climax.

Les Marteaux de La Marine was selected as a compulsory grade 6 contest piece for symphonic bands in the Netherlands.

Les marteaux de la marine werd in 1999 gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Marinierskapel van de Koninklijke Marine.

De compositie kent drie statische elementen, elkaar afwisselend. Statisch wil in dit geval zeggen dat er geen ontwikkeling vanhet materiaal wordt nagestreefd.
Het eerste element waarmee het stuk begint is rustig en kleurrijk. Het tweede element is vinnig en scherp terwijl het derde energie verbeeldt. In alle elementen is de herhaalde toon het uigangspunt waarmee dehamers (martaux) verklaard kunnen worden. De instrumentatie is rijk geschakeerd waarbij in de langzame gedeelten een harp medebepalend is voor het kleurenpalet.

De compositie vangt aan met een sfeervol Larghetto met fraaie harmonieën in hetzachte, subtiel bewegende, houtregister. De inleiding ademt een impressionistische sfeer uit, waarbij expressieve cantilenes en solistische beweeglijke motieven naar voren komen.
Dan volgt een virtuoos Allegro met snelle motieven afgezet doorkorte, ritmische inzetten van de diverse instrumentengroepen. De trompetten en hoorns voegen een virtuoos signaalmotief toe. Na en kort stringendo-gedeelte keert het transparante Larghetto terug met een gevarieerde zetting van de beginelementen. Decornet (trompet) en hoorn vervullen in dit gedeelte een fraaie hoofdrol. Vervolgens zet het flitsende Vivo in met voortdurende trioolbewegingen in zowel hout als koper. Vervolgens duikt het Allegro van het begin nog op en Les marteaux de la marinebesluit met een snelle en virtuoze climax.
