Driv en for guitar came about when me and guitar virtuoso Otto Tolonen happened to meet at a bar in
Helsinki a few years back. After a few dozen drinks we started discussing metal music. Otto, knowing my
background as a metal guitarist, came up with the idea to write something for him using metal music
aesthetics as a basis for a piece. I got really hooked on the idea of incorporating heavy riffs in the style of all
those bands' music that I grew up with.
Enter Driven. A work that stacks riffs upon riffs upon riffs - hopefully in a convincing metalish kind of way
not forgetting the aesthetics of the contemporary classical masters.

Simpl y Driven is a collection of five pieces for advanced to virtuoso level pianists. Each piece has a completely different character, whilst still reflecting minimalist influences.

Giuseppe Ottavio Pitoni (1657-1743) was an Italian organist and composer, and one of the leading figures in the late Baroque era. He wrote an extensive oeuvre of liturgical music, with over 200 motets, 300 masses, and800 Psalm settings. He bridged the gap between the counterpoint-driven styles of Palestrina and Scarlatti, and the more homophonic and harmony-driven works of Handel and Vivaldi, becoming a master of both styles in his own right.His setting of the Laudate Dominum (Psalm 150) is for unaccompanied SATB chorus. Having been edited by the noted musicologist J. Steele, it is a suitable motet for any church service, or would make aperfect recital item

Shadow Run is a secret mission under the cover of night. The motor-driven accompaniment present throughout the piece is inspired by the minimalist works of Steve Reich and Philip Glass, while the melodic and harmonic content reflect the polychordal harmony of composers like Roy Harris, William Schuman, and Vincent Persichetti. Composer George Sweet has written a new tour de force for the more advanced string orchestra.
Shadow Run is inspired by the idea of a dangerous secret mission under the cover of night . The motor driven accompaniment present throughout the piece is inspired by the minimalist works of Steve Reich and Philip Glass, while the melodic and harmonic content reflect the polychordal harmony of composers like Roy Harris, William Schuman, and Vincent Persichetti . The piece begins with a brief motor introduction, which sets the mood for what is to follow . Make sure all elements of the motor are equal in volume and articulation so that the voices create a blended whole . The A-theme is stated in a legato fashion by the upper voices at m . 9 . This should be played as legato as possible to contrast with the motor in the lower voices . The voices unite for an aggressive B-section at m . 25 . The A-section returns at m . 33; however, the melodic material has mutated and features variations on a melodic fragment found in the first violin back in m . 24 . After a return of the B-material, the piece enters a subdued C-section at m . 57, in which the motor and melodic roles are reversed . Following a transitional section in which the motor returns, both A- and B-sections are repeated one final time . At m . 115, a dark and mysterious coda appears and drives the piece to a dramatic conclusion .

Hora Est! (Latin for ‘it is time!’) was composed to bid adieu to Sjoerd de Boer’s following forty years as conductor of the Chr. Fanfare Band, based in the town of Wjelsryp in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, this small phrase, hora est, is traditionally said upon awarding a university doctorate at graduation ceremonies. The composition was written with Sjoerd de Boer firmly in mind, mirroring various aspects of his life. The main motif of the work consists of three notes, forming his initials: S (Eb) D B. At a certain point, the music is interrupted by a thunderstorm and heavy rain (forever a bad omen: the debut for this work took place a day after such a deluge, but fortunately their open-air concert was met with clear blue skies.) The fanfare then plays an Italianesque march, with the motif of de Boer’s initials interwoven throughout. The work re-uses this motif twice towards the end of the piece as one might expect, by the saxophones to create a festive, driven and virtuosic atmosphere. Finally, the work comes to an end with the initials motif played across the ensemble in complete unison. The powerful closing chords symbolise a fond farewell to de Boer: a driven and extremely capable conductor whose musical mark on Concordia will be felt for years to come. Hora Est! is suitable as a contest piece and would be a definite highlight for any upcoming concert.

Hora Est! is gecomponeerd ter gelegenheid van het afscheid van Sjoerd de Boer als dirigent van Chr. Fanfarekorps Concordia uit Wjelsryp (Friesland), na maar liefst veertig jaar. Hora Est! is Latijn voor ‘Het is tijd!’. Het zinnetje wordt traditioneel uitgesproken bij een promotie tot doctor op de universiteit, op het moment dat de vastgestelde tijd voor verdediging van het proefschrift om is. De pedel komt dan binnen en stampt met zijn staf op de grond terwijl hij deze woorden roept. In dat opzicht verwijst de titel naar de voormalige universiteitsstad Franeker, de woonplaats van Sjoerd en de stad waar hij jaren lang leraar muziek was aan de christelijke scholengemeenschap. Anderzijds verwijst de titel naar zijn afscheid van Concordia: ‘Het is tijd!’.

Primal in every sense of the word, this work infuses complex harmonies with angular melodies to elicit a primitive atmosphere full of anticipation. Driven by percussion and the dissonant rhythmic pulse in the lower voices, the music eventually gives way to a slower, mystical section. As the music's primal nature begins once again, everything ultimately leads to the adrenaline-packed ending punctuated by racing woodwind ostinatos and extraordinary brass chords. Intense!
