The Book of Urizen is a work for concert band, solo soprano, and a male narrator in which sound collages of religious expressions are used. The piece is inspired by the compelling visionary poem of the same name (which the poet illustratedhimself) by the Englishman William Blake (1757-1827), who occupies a unique position in western literature and the visual arts. He was not just a poet and a writer, but he was also a graphic artist, a painter, an illustrator, a spiritualist, areligious visionary, and a mystic philosopher. For the performance of this work, a professional sound system, including two microphones and a CD player, is needed. The three sound collages are three separate tracks on the enclosed CD and can beplayed easily at the right moment. The Book of Urizen bears resemblance to Genesis and Exodus, of which the contents form the basis of the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faith. Blake adhered to the principle that all religions are in fact one,and that deities reside in human beings. In The Book of Urizen this is represented in “The Net of Religion,” which is spanned over the earth by Urizen. The sound collages, compiled by Jacob de Haan in the studio, find their origin inJerusalem, the Holy City, where the afore-mentioned faiths “come together.” In the first movement of this composition, The Vision, Urizen prepares his vision of the world, and he presents this to the “Eternals.” His vision is rejected,and Urizen locks himself up in his own abstract world. When he does emerge again, he is confronted with rage by the gathered Eternals. Urizen flees the wrath of the Eternals, “the flames of eternal fury,” and enwombs himself in his own world. Whenthe Eternals see Urizen in his “stony sleep,” they wonder if this is death. The blacksmith Los is torn by grief because of the isolation of Urizen. It brings him to rouse his fires, prepare his forge, and to give Urizen’s world concrete form. In thesecond movement, The Creation, Urizen’s world, but also man, woman, and child are created. Los is horrified with the appearance of Urizen’s body. He mourns and pities Urizen, and from his blood a female form comes into being, with thename Enitharmon. The Eternals, fearful of the female form, decide to erect a tent to obstruct their view to eternity. Enitharmon and Los beget a son, called Orc. Los baptizes him as a child of the “fallen world.” Orc is fed at Enitharmon’s breast,which makes a girdle of jealousy restrict Los’ chest. He takes the child to the top of the mountain and chains him down. The cries of Orc awaken Urizen, who explores his world creating instruments of scientific measurement to do so. Los encircles theface of Enitharmon from the sight of Urizen and Orc. She then populates the earth by giving birth to an enormous race.The Web, third movement of The Book of Urizen is now available: DHP 1125252

When you have been playing in a band for a long time, you will know that music belongs to the most beautiful moments in life, but also to the roughest times. Making music together can give you strength when things are difficult.To a Friend is a wonderfully comforting work for anyone going through a dark time. Jacob de Haan composed the work for his father in law, Gerard Bosch, a musician to the core. The piece received its first performance justweeks before his passing. On a sun-kissed evening, his friends, the musicians of his two music societies Oefening Baart Kunst (Practice Makes Perfect) Otterlo, and the Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps (Reunion BandArtillery Trumpet Corps) played the work for Gerard - an unknowing yet beautiful goodbye.

Wanneer je al lang samen in een orkest speelt, weet je dat muziek hoort bij de mooiste momenten in het leven, maar ook bij de diepste dalen. Samen muziek maken kan je kracht geven wanneer je het moeilijk hebt. To a Friendis een prachtig troostrijk werk voor iedereen die donkere tijden meemaakt. Jacob de Haan componeerde het werk voor zijn schoonvader, Gerard Bosch, een muzikant in hart en nieren. Een paar weken voor diens overlijden was het klaarom te worden uitgevoerd. Op een zonovergoten avond speelden zijn vrienden, de muzikanten van zijn beide muziekverenigingen Oefening Baart Kunst Otterlo en het Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps het voor Gerard. Eenprachtig afscheid.

Wer lange in einem Orchester gespielt hat, der weiß, dass Musik zu den schönsten Momenten im Leben gehört, aber auch zu den schwersten. Gemeinsames Musizieren kann einem in schwierigen Zeiten Kraft geben. To a Friend istein wunderbar tröstliches Werk für jeden, der eine schwere Zeit durchlebt. Jacob de Haan komponierte das Werk für seinen Schwiegervater Gerard Bosch, der Musiker durch und durch war. Das Stück wurde nur wenige Wochen vor seinemTod uraufgeführt. An einem sonnigen Abend spielten seine Freunde, die Musiker seiner beiden Musikvereine Oefening Baart Kunst (Übung macht den Meister“) Otterlo und das Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps (Reunion BandArtillerie Trompet Corps) , das Werk für Gerard. Ein unbewusster und zugleich schöner Abschied.

Lorsqu’on joue dans un orchestre depuis longtemps, on sait que la musique fait partie des plus beaux moments de la vie, mais aussi d’instants très ardus. Jouer ensemble peut donner de la force lorsque les choses sont difficiles.To a Friend est une œuvre merveilleusement réconfortante pour toute personne confrontée une période sombre. Jacob de Haan a composé cette pièce pour son beau-père, Gerard Bosch, lui-même musicien passionné. Elle a étécréée quelques semaines avant son décès. Lors d’une fin de journée ensoleillée, ses amis, les musiciens de ses deux sociétés musicales (Oefening Baart Kunst Otterlo et le Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps ), ont interprétéla nouvelle composition pour Gerard. Ils l’ignoraient alors, mais ce petit concert constitua un adieu merveilleux.

Ralph Vaughan Williams' (1872-1958) English Folk Songs Suite, IRV 16, consists of three movements, the first two of which are based on the folk songs Seventeen Come Sunday and My Bonny Boy; the third adapts four songs from the Somerset region collected by Cecil Sharp. The English Folk Songs Suite quotes the Christmas carol Dives and Lazarus, which Vaughan Williams later published five variations of for harp and string orchestra. Gordon Jacob, a student of Vaughan Williams, arranged this version for orchestra. An earlier version of the English Folk Songs Suite, written for military band, premiered at Kneller Hall in Twickenham, England in July 1923.

Behold a Ladder Set Up on the Earth by Frank McKinney is a composition that touches upon both the thoughtful meditation and the emotional response to the lyrics of the African American slave spiritual We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder. There are abundant opportunities for both sensitive and robust musical moments. A variation of the well-known theme is stated in the opening Adagio trumpet solo and then repeated several times throughout the piece. A more upbeat Allegro variation then enters before the familiar tune is finally introduced calmly by the bassoon. The climactic Religioso section presents the main theme in all of its call and response glory. (3:50).
