In this composition Jacob de Haan sees the 'Ross Roy' as a metaphor for the years spent at school (a monument in time) where one's personality is formed. So the opening theme the artist calls the Ross Roy theme initially has monumental characteristics.The rhythmic motion which strides along in the lower register and percussion at the beginning of the next section is typical of 'Tempo di Marcia'. This movement accompanied by repetitions of sound is a metaphor for the structure and discipline in school. This is the introduction to a march theme symbolic of 'passing through' the classes up to the final examinations.Then the Ross Roy theme is dealt with again now in aplayful humorous variation. As if the composer is saying there should also be time for a smile in school. The same theme can be heard in major key and a slower tempo in the following section expressing pride and self-confidence. This is also the introduction to the expressive middle section that represents love friendship and understanding.We then return to the march theme in a slightly altered construction. The oriental sounds constituting the modulation to the final theme are symbols of the diversity of cultures in the school. The characteristic final theme first sounds solemn but turns into a festive apotheosis. It is no coincidence that the final cadence is reminiscent of the close to a traditional overture for the school years can be considered the 'overture' to the rest of one's life.

Variations on a Chord was composed on the occasion of the second lustrum of the Dutch Brass Band Championships celebrated in 1990. The piece is the immediate sequel to Contrasten a piece which was composed in 1986 and which is performed all over the world. Not only was the final chord of this previous work used as a starting point for the new composition but Variations on a Chord is also the first concert piece for brass band composed by Jan de Haan since then. The several variations are based on a solemn theme. The so-called minor-major seventh chord is easily detectable. The structure of the piece is such that the lyrical theme is preceded by a majestic introduction and isfollowed by eight variations each strongly contrasting in character. The piece finishes in a short but extremely spectacular coda.

'The Alchymist's Journal' gets its title from the book of the same name by American author Evan S. Connell. The book fictionalises a number of famous Alchemist’s writings each one developing another's thoughts thus continuing one idea but changing it subtly to provide a new view point or way of thinking. This process is in fact alchemical as one idea transmutes into another. This idea is parallel to the processes at work within these variants. The whole work is constructed from 6 notes (C A B flat E flat F sharp E) and is presented in nine different sections each individual in mood but still based upon the original pitches. This is not a thematic set ofvariations as the themes are developed one at a time from small segments of the six notes. For example the opening theme is the complete number of pitches the second theme uses three notes transposed then repeated at the original level and so on. Harmonically the six notes can be divided into two triads A minor and E flat minor – each key beginning and ending the piece respectively. Whilst this is essentially abstract music with no programme there is an introduction menacing scherzo slow reflective section followed by a recap of the scherzo and final coda. 'The Alchymist’s Journal' was commissioned by the Brass Band Heritage Trust at the suggestion of Paul Hindmarsh to whom the work is dedicated.

The motivation for composing this test piece for the Concert Division Brassband of the 2001 WMC was Rob Goorhuis's deep respect for one of the greatest Dutch composers of the 20-th century who also enlarged the wind band repertoire in a most valuable way. Goorhuis wanted to light up the 'soft and kind' side of the brassband and wrote about this composition : 'The basis is a theme of twelve tones wich Badings once played at an International Organ Improvisation Contest in Haarlem.My organ teacher participated in that contest and so the theme remained somehow in the back of my mind.' The composer worked out a series of variations and clustered them into bundles ofthree and so the melody kept its diversity while remaining easy to recognise.

Solo for Eb Horn and Brass Band-Irish Mood was written in a classic ‘theme and variations’ construction opening with an Irish-inspired melodic theme which is then followed by four variations of divergent character. After the introduction of the theme by the soloist the cornets and trombones play the main melody in Variation 1 while the soloist provides a flowing counter melody. Next comes the highly extrovert and lively Variation 2 contrasted by an introverted Variation 3 in a minor key. A masterful tutti (Variation 4) then leads the piece toward a brilliant ending.

Minerva by Jan Van der Roost was composed on the commission of the German ?Musikverein Braunshausen? on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the orchestra. The composition first performed on September 17 1999 is not a street march but a concert march just like Mercury and Arsenal. The use and variation of different rhythmic patterns gives the first part of this march a distinctly dynamic character. Two main themes are presented in several instrumental combinations. The theme from the trio on the other hand is characterized by a broad melodic approach using large intervals. This theme wreathed by high woodwinds is heard one more time after a contrasting newpart but now in a somewhat slower tempo. The counterpoint in this part refers to the first part of the march. The brilliant ending suits a festive anniversary march!

After a solemn introduction one hears the melody of the hymn Abide with you which was sung a lot during the war. Following there are variations on the theme finally leading to the magisterial conclusion that represents the ultimate liberation.The work may be interpreted as popular music (with the part for drumset) but a more serious version without drums is possible and indeed preferable.

for Brass Band-The opening of this three-movement work features an initial appearance of the thematic material that returns in various guises later on in the work. The leitmotiv centres on a minor second.A range of thematic variations is heard in the lively and energetic Metamorphosis One. This movement is interrupted by an atmospheric meno mosso containing melodic passages that return to the opening theme. Metamorhosis Two is characterised by various changes in tempo and musical character. Seven different soloists transform the thematic material each in their own way. This eventually culminates in a passionate tutti passage.The source of inspiration for Metamorphosis Three isthe so-called BACH-motif a musical autograph consisting of the notes B flat A C and B. This distinctive motif arises from the leitmotiv (here a descending minor second) which continues to evolve through various transpositions and transformations. For the composer this spectacular last movement is an homage to one of the greatest and most influential composers in the history of music: Johann Sebastian Bach.

Cathedrals have always appealed to the imagination. Hundreds of years of manpower have been invested in their building and it is not for nothing that today they represent imposing symbols of architecture and history. The cathedral is also a great source of inspiration for compositions drawing on a full palette of acoustic echo effects Gregorian melodies and organ based choral themes.The work ?Catedrals? opens with a five tone motif using double tonguing which resonates through space. Then comes a Gregorian antiphonal theme ?Salve Regina? which is heard in the euphonium and later combines with the opening motif. The quicker passage that follows is basedentirely on the intervals in the motif which by now has added rhythmic variations and develops in different forms including a fugue. The work then builds towards its first climax from which unusual muted sounds emerge creating an atmosphere shrouded in mystery.Gradually more melodious fragments are added to the Gregorian antiphonal theme which develops into an expansive choral emulating the organ and which rises above the sound mass. The work grows more powerful and brilliant in sound until it culminates in a short and explosive finale wherein elements from the whole work come together.

Death love fear ecstasy isolation dreaming and rest are all textual “variations” on the “theme” of sleep and can be found in the chosen texts. The work’s title is taken from a line in a poem by Samuel Daniel (1562-1619) and speaks tothe composition’s focus on sleep as a parallel possibly dystopian existence to the one experienced in our waking hours.' - Tarik O’Regan March 2010 Scored for brass quintet organ and SATB choir with (minor) divisi and occasional moderately demanding solos for tenor and soprano this evocative 16-minute work probes the mystery of sleep with texts from poems by Keats Samuel Daniel Shakespeare and Hart Crane: 'death love fear ecstasy isolation dreaming and rest' are the themes O'Regan explores through these texts in a work as episodic as a disturbed night with the title creating a 'focus in sleep as a parallel possibly dystopian existence'. - Organists' Review
