During a visit to the town of Saintes in South West France in the summer of 2003, I spent some time in the Roman amphitheatre there. It is a well preserved arena and I imagined what it must have been like to take part in the gladiatorial games. 'Roman times' is based on these images with the opening grand procession and its amazing mixture of Mediterranean peoples. The middle movement is an old fashioned love ballad followed by gladiators fighting in a very spirited battle to death or victory.

Every year a competition for wind orchestras and brass bands takes place in Wallberg, Switzerland. Apart from a hymn and a solo piece, all orchestras also have a compulsory piece to play. The commission to create a compulsory piece for the 2012 competition fell to Jan de Haan. The composition is entitled Musica Helvetica. It takes the form of a three-part concert work, in which the last two parts flow directly from one to the other. The first part, Musica Prima, is a brisk virtuoso opening with jazz flavours woven in. The following section, Musica Sacra, offers a contrast with an extraordinarily colourful instrumentation for the gorgeous main theme. Thefinal part, Musica Alpina, is inspired by the great variety of scenery in Switzerland. With its witty humour it makes a worthy conclusion to this beautiful tryptich.

In het Zwitserse Wallberg wordt ieder jaar een concours voor harmonieorkesten en brassbands georganiseerd. Naast een hymne en een solowerk dienen alle orkesten een verplicht werk uit te voeren. Voor het concours van 2012 werd eenopdracht verstrekt aan Jan de Haan. De compositie kreeg Musica Helvetica als titel mee. Het gaat om een driedelig concertwerk waarvan de laatste twee delen onafgebroken in elkaar overgaan. Het eerste deel, Musica Prima,is een virtuoze en flitsende opening met hier en daar jazzy invloeden. In contrast daarmee staat het expressieve volgende deel, Musica Sacra, waarin het gedragen hoofdthema prachtig wordt uitgewerkt - de instrumentatieis hier buitengewoon kleurrijk. Het afsluitende deel, Musica Alpina, is ge nspireerd op het afwisselende landschap van Zwitserland. Het is grillig van structuur en vormt een waardige afsluiting van dit fraaie drieluik.

Im schweizerischen Wallberg wird jedes Jahr ein Wettbewerb für Blasorchester und Brass Bands ausgerichtet. Neben einer Hymne und einem Solowerk müssen alle Orchester ein Pfllichtstück spielen. Vor dem Wettbewerb im Jahr 2012 wurde der Auftrag zu diesem Pflichtstück an Jan de Haan vergeben. Die Komposition erhielt den Titel Musica Helvetica. Es handelt sich dabei um ein dreiteiliges Konzertwerk, dessen letzten zwei Teile direkt ineinander übergehen. Der erste Teil, Musica Prima, ist eine virtuose, flotte Eröffnung mit eingestreuten jazzigen Einflüssen. Einen Kontrast hierzu bildet der folgende Teil, Musica Sacra, worin das Hauptthema wunderschönausgearbeit et wird - die Instrumentierung ist hier außergewöhnlich farbig. Der letzte Teil, Musica Alpina, ist inspiriert vom abwechslungsreichen Landschaftsbild der Schweiz. Mit seiner launigen Struktur bildet er einen würdigen Abschluss dieses schönen Triptychons.

Chaque année, un concours pour orchestres d’harmonie et brass bands se déroule Wallberg, en Suisse. Outre un hymne et une oeuvre avec solo, tous les orchestres doivent interpréter une pièce imposée. Jan de Haan fut chargé de composer celle-ci pour l’édition 2012 du concours. Intitulée Musica Helvetica, cette composition prend la forme d’une pièce de concert en trois parties, les deux dernières se suivant sans interruption. La première partie, Musica Prima, est une ouverture rapide, épicée d’accents jazzy. La suivante, Musica Sacra, offre un splendide contraste avec une instrumentation incroyablement colorée dans le thème principal. La dernière partie,Musica Alpina, s’inspire de la diversité des paysages suisses. Pleine d’humour, elle couronne parfaitement ce superbe triptyque.

The Quest of the Magi was one of the working titles for John Henry Hopkins Jr.'s famous carol, We Three Kings. Written in 1857 for a Christmas pageant in New York City, We Three Kings tells the tale of the Magis' journey to find a newly born king in a faraway land and the precious gifts they brought with them. This piece focuses more on the journey of following yonder star. Traveling across many countries in the first century was a perilous task, full of danger, thievery, and possible death, not to mention these men were traveling with some of the most precious and expensive cargo one could possess. This piece chronicles the magi acquiring myrrh, frankincense, and gold for their journey. Each treasure is represented by its own motif and woven into Hopkins' original carol. (2:45).

Following the success of the treble voice setting released last year is this new voicing. Though you bind it to the blowing wind and you buckle it to the moon, the night will slip away like a sorrow or a tune. The poetry of Eleanor Farjeon is so evocative, and Judith Herrington knows just how to set it for mixed voices to sing. This is a beautiful song for concert or festival use.

In Concerto d’Amore, a maestoso opening is followed by a quick and energetic movement that leads to a magnificent adagio. A motif from this adagio can be heard in a swinging movement, after which the piece comes to a close with the return of the adagio. This arrangement for concert band certainly brings this beautiful music to life.

In Concerto d’Amore worden drie verschillende stijlen gecombineerd: barok, pop en jazz. De maestoso introductie van de compositie klinkt als een barokouverture. Dan volgt een energiek gedeelte in popstijl, dat uitmondt in eenadagio. Een motief daaruit is daarna te horen in een swingende passage, waarna het werk besluit met de terugkeer van het adagio in een nieuw jasje.

Dann kehrt Adagio in neuem Gewand zurück, um das Werk zu beenden.

Concerto d’Amore est composé de trois périodes thématiques aux caractéristiques de la musique baroque, pop et jazz. L’introduction majestueuse, aux allures d’ouverture baroque, chemine vers un passage vif et énergique écrit dans le style de la musique pop.

Concerto d’Amore se conclut par la reprise du motif de l’adagio dont la forme altérée offre une conclusion brillante cette œuvre richement colorée.

Leoš Janácek (1854-1928) wrote a large portion of his most distinctive music late in life, following the success of a revised version of his opera Jenufa in 1916. His extensive research of the national folklore had a great impact on his work as a composer. Inspired by a military band performance in a park, the Sinfonietta opens with a military-style fanfare for brass and percussion. It received its commission from a Czech gymnastics association to celebrate the Eighth National Sokol Rally which took place in Prague in the summer of 1926. The Czech Philharmonic gave the first performance on June 26th of that year under the direction of Vaclav Talich. The inner movements provide contrasting melodic and rhythmic material, characterized by rhythmic shifts, abrupt mood changes, and fragments of folk dance. The final movement climbs through a long, intensifying sequence to reprise the opening music, now taken up by the full orchestra.
