Ruders writes: 'gl0rIA' is subtitled: 'a relique for large chorus and 12 brass-instruments. At the same time it is an exercise for chorus because only vowels do occur or virtually no consonants are heard. The second part of the Missa Ordinarium the Gloria in Exelcis Deo makes the literary basis of 'g10rIA' but I employ only the vowels which in their full context form a 'non-language' - fragments of a tradition. A less dim vision of the 'severed body' appears in the center of the piece where the Domini Fili-section surfaces in its original shape. 'gl0rIA' is a 20th century composer’s hommage to the innocent faith of bygone days and a fanfare in honour of ClaudioMonteverdi; thus the ever present elaborations of the introduction to the Vespro Della Beate Vergine. Superimposed on the 'torso' of Latin I wedge in a quotation from the Spanish renaissance poet Gonzalo de Berceo’s 'Duelo de la Virgen' a surrealistic Lamento in which the Jews sent by Pilate to stand guard at the tomb of Christ mock and ridicule Maria Jesu mother. Thus a shadow has been cast over the jubilant religious appraisal of the past which today’s knowledge of atrocities and enormities engineered by Mankind has - alas - made so hard to repeat.

En général la musique de film est composée à partir et en fonction des événements qui se produisent dans l?intrigue du scénario. L?inverse est plutôt rare mais Jacob de Haan parvient à nous démontrer le contraire avec La Storia. Sans jamais nous livrer des éléments de l'intrigue il nous propose environ sept minutes de musique intense. Par conséquent l?œuvre fait appel à l?imagination individuelle ; chacun d?entre nous étant libre de créer son propre scénario à partir de ce qu?il entend. Avec La Storia Jacob de Haan rend hommage au maître italien de la musique de film : Ennio Morricone.
