In late August of 2005, the normally festive skies over the city of New Orleans began to change. As Hurricane Katrina approached the city, the skies promised a weather event of unprecedented proportions. Composer Robert W. Smith was commissioned by the United State Marine Forces Reserve Band of New Orleans to create this symphonic tone poem recreating and commemorating the Katrina experience. Beginning with Blue Sky, the jazz of the historic city provides the musical inspiration. Soon, the Threatening Sky arrives giving way to the Raging Sky. Finally, the Dawn of a New Sky brings hope as the city is reborn to share its musical gifts once again. Promising Skies is large work for concert band at the medium advanced level. Using the American art form of jazz as its base along with unusual percussive effects, the piece is a unique and welcome contribution to the repertoire.

Sunset - the sun heads towards the western horizon and slowly slips from view. The sky creates a dazzling display of yellows, oranges, and reds, before turning a calm blue, then purple, and finally black. Such sunsets inspired Jan de Haan to write this piece for solo oboe and concert band. It is dedicated to his daughter, Hermanda.

Zonsondergang. De zon verdwijnt langzaam aan de westelijke horizon. De hemel is in rode en oranje kleuren getooid... Deze prachtige aanblik was de inspiratie voor dit ontroerende solowerk voor hobo en harmonieorkest. Jan de Haan schreefhet in de herfst van 2008 en droeg het op aan zijn dochter Hermanda.

Sonnenuntergang: Die Sonne verschwindet langsam am westlichen Horizont. Der Himmel ist in Rot- und Orangetöne getaucht. Dieser oft erlebte, aber immer wieder aufs Neue prachtvolle Anblick bildete die Quelle der Inspiration für ein ruhiges, aber intensives und damit sehr eindrucksvolles Solowerk für Oboe und Blasorchester, das Jan de Haan im Herbst 2008 seiner Tochter Hermanda widmete.

Il tramonto del sole ispira da sempre pittori, fotografi , scrittori, poeti e anche compositori. Jan de Haan si è lasciato sedurre da questo istante meraviglioso, quando il cielo inventa infinite sfumature di arancio e rosso, su uno sfondo appena visibile di azzurro. Spettacolo grandioso che si ripete da sempre, ma che non finisce mai di stupire. In Sweet Sunset il ruolo principale è affi dato all’oboe.

Asteroids and comets have played an important role throughout the history of life on earth. It is quite probable that the dinosaurs have been exterminated by an asteroid's impact in the Gulf of Mexico. Huge tidal waves and fire storms wiped out all life. This is the year 2067 according to the Christian calendar. A collision has just taken place in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and caused an asteroid to enter the earth's power of gravitation. It is instoppably approaching the blue planet. As its peoples have been fighting each other continuously, they missed the building of a global defence system against dangers coming from space. A scanner records the asteroid andimmediately sends a message to the President of the Anglo-American Union. The probability that the asteroid will hit the earth is judged 50% by the experts. Plans are made to shoot the celestial body with rockets live with hydrogen bombs or laser guns in order to throw it off its track, but they fail. The asteroid's size seems to threaten the existence of mankind. Those in the know stare at the night sky in bewilderment. But for the time being, there is still peace on earth....
