Sea Dreams was written in memory of the composer's wife, Jean. After an introduction, which is not heard again until the end of the piece, the music becomes a rondo allegro, and gradually builds to a big climax. At the very end there is an oblique reference to the Liebestod of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde.

Sea Dreams was originally a commission, in 2007, from an American University who wanted me to write a piece in memory of my first wife, Jean, who died in 2006. I set about writing the music and quickly completed the score early in 2008, but, unfortunately, because of the sudden collapse in the worldwide financial markets the commission itself fell through. The music draws on three of the pieces that I had written for Jean in the early days before we were married, namely two violin sonatas (she was a violinist) and the 'Serenade' Opus 22 one of my most popular pieces. However the bulk of the music is new, and the quotes from these early pieces are subtle and merely passing references, not at all like the originals. After an introduction, which is not heard again until the end of the piece, the music becomes a rondo allegro, and gradually builds to a big climax. At the very end there is an oblique reference to the Liebestod of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. Sea Dreams was premiered by Birmingham Symphonic Winds, conducted by Keith Allen, on Saturday March 20th 2010 at the CBSO Centre, Birmingham, England.

The Chinese conceptions yin and yang represent the two contradicting principles of an object or phenomenon, such as day and night, light and dark, man and woman. In Yin Yang Serenade this can be found in the musical opposites, legato-staccato and minor-major, creating an work with great atmospheric contrast.

De Chinese begrippen yin en yang vertegenwoordigen de twee tegenovergestelde principes van een voorwerp of verschijnsel, zoals dag en nacht, licht en donker, man en vrouw, enz. In Yin Yang Serenade is dit onder andere terugte vinden in de tegenstellingen legato-staccato en mineur-majeur - waardoor een mooi sfeercontrast ontstaat.

Die chinesischen Symbole Yin und Yang stehen für zwei gegensätzliche Prinzipien eines Objekts oder Phänomens, wie zum Beispiel Tag und Nacht, Licht und Dunkel oder Mann und Frau. In Jacob de Haans Yin Yang Serenade bestehen die Prinzipien in den musikalischen Gegensätzen legato und staccato sowie Moll und Dur. Diese Paare kreieren einen stimmungsvollen Kontrast, der die Yin Yang Serenade zu einem besonderen Erlebnis für Musiker und Publikum macht.

La philosophie chinoise est dominée par les notions de Yin et de Yang, deux principes naturels opposés et complémentaires qui déterminent tout individu, toute chose et tout phénomène. Le Yin et le Yang sont le masculin et le féminin, le jour et la nuit, l’obscurité et la lumière, etc. Dans Yin Yang Serenade, Jacob de Haan applique cette conception la musique en opposant le jeu en legato au jeu en staccato, la tonalité mineure la tonalité Majeure, etc., donnant ainsi naissance des contrastes éthérés et fluides.

La filosofia cinese si appoggia alle nozioni di Yin e di Yang, due principi naturali opposti e complementari che determinano ogni individuo e ogni fenomeno. Il Yin e il Yang sono il maschile ed il femminile, il giorno e la notte, l’oscurit e la luce…. In Yin Yang Serenade, Jacob de Haan applica questo concetto alla musica, opponendo il gioco in legato a quello in staccato, la tonalit maggiore a quella minore, dando così vita a contrasti eterei e fluidi.
