The composition Kefas was written for the brass band 'Apollo' from Grou (The Netherlands), by order of the Unisono Foundation, the organisation for wind music in The Netherlands.
The assignment was given on account of earning the Champions Title during the Dutch Brass Band Championships in the year 2001 (4th division).

The theme of the composition links the tradition of the village Grou, not to celebrate Sint Nicolaas but Sint Pieter.By this typical Dutch festivity (in December) the holy Nicolaas gives presents to the children. It is a popular custom where young and old participate.
Grou is the only place where this is not done by Sint Nicolaas but by Sint Pieter.Apart from that, on the 22th of Februari, a lot of festivities that take place,resemble those of the Sinterklaas celebration.

In the composition two Sint Pieter songs are processed, set through bible scenes, wherein in among others the visit of Christ to the house of Peter's Mother-in-law and the calling of Peter are depicted.
The title refers to the pronouncement of Christ, where he named Peter the rock on which he shall build his church.
The Hebrew word for rock is Kephas.
Kefas was premiered in 2003.

Pie Jesu is the famous aria for soprano and orchestra from Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, opus 48. Fauré (1845- 1924) composed the work in 1887, two years after his father’s death and only a short time before his mother passed away. Fauré’s Pie Jesu is richly atmosphere and peaceful, and Robert van Beringen perfectly captures the essence of Fauré’s beautiful music in this arrangement for fanfare band.

Pie Jesu is de beroemde aria voor sopraan en orkest uit het Requiem (opus 48) van Gabriel Fauré. Fauré (1845-1924) schreef dit werk in 1887, twee jaar na de dood van zijn vader en kort voor het overlijden van zijn moeder. Pie Jesuis overigens eerder sfeervol en vredig dan treurig te noemen. Robert van Beringen maakte er een geslaagde bewerking van.

Pie Jesu ist die berühmte Arie für Sopran und Orchester aus Gabriel Faurés Requiem, opus 48. Fauré (1845-1924) schrieb das Werk im Jahre 1887, zwei Jahre nach dem Tod des Vaters und kurz vor dem Tode der Mutter. Pie Jesu ist vielmehr ein stimmungsvolles, friedvolles denn trauriges Werk, das Robert van Beringen einfühlsam für Brass Band bearbeitete.

Pie Jesu est le célèbre aria pour Soprano et orchestre cordes extrait du Requiem Op. 48 de Gabriel Fauré, qu’il composa peu de temps après le décès de son père. Pie Jesu est empreint d’une atmosphère douce et paisible sans pour autant évoquer un sentiment de tristesse. L’arrangement réalisé par Robert van Beringen capture l’essence même de cet aria, en reflétant toute l’émotion de la merveilleuse musique de Fauré, dans un écrin de quiétude et d’humilité pour orchestre d’fanfare.

Pie Jesu è la famosa aria per soprano e orchestra dal Requiem opus 48 che Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) scrisse nel 1887 due anni dopo la morte del padre e poco prima della morte della madre. Pie Jesu è un brano struggente e pieno di atmosfera, arrangiato magistralmente per banda da Robert van Beringen.
