White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band in Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece of intermediate difficulty that included the work “white” (Ms. Teramoto's lucky color) in the title. The composer used this suggestion to write a piece that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, color and orchestration, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band; he was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument. The piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. It opens with a chorale-like passage on flutes and clarinets; the soloist enters with a recitative over trilling clarinets. The main theme is then introduced, accompanied by the woodwinds. After a short bridge passage, a change of key heralds a second theme by the soloist, with gentle brass punctuations. This builds to a climax, ending on a high trill from the soloist. After short passage over a timpani roll, the band recalls the main theme, taken up once again by the soloist. This leads to a short cadenza before the closing bars bring the work peacefully to a close.

On average, about eight thousand (mostly light) earthquakes occur worldwide each day. Composer Jan de Haan has always been fascinated by this natural phenomenon. Earthquake portrays the beautiful South-American peninsula, Isla Iberi which lies directly on a major fault line. The peace and tranquility is shattered by a major tremor and the terrified people flee in fear. In addition to showing the earthquakes destructive power, Earthquake also conveys the courage and faith of the industrious people of Isla Iberia, as they energetically start the reconstruction of their beloved residential area. Earthquake is dedicated to the memory of all victims of the devastating Asiantsunami which occurred on 26 December 2004.

Earthquake is een indrukwekkende en contrastrijke programmatische compositie over de impact van een zware aardbeving. De muziek is net zo imposant als het natuurgeweld zelf - en net zo aangrijpend als de ervaring van de mensendie het meemaken. Earthquake was het verplichte werk voor de hoogste divisie van de Nederlandse Brassbandkampioenschappen 2005.

Earthquak e ist eine beeindruckende, emotionale und kontrastive thematische Komposition über die Naturgewalt eines heftigen Erdbebens.

Earthquake (“Tremblement de terre”) résume la fascination de Jan de Haan pour les séismes, phénomènes naturels souvent superficiels, mais quelques fois destructeurs et meurtriers. La musique est aussi impressionnante que les forces de la nature, aussi émouvante que le désespoir des hommes.

ISBN 9788759873656.

Work for Oboe, Bassoon, Horn, Violin and Cello. Parts available: KP00198 The composer writes: 'The Quintet TROTTO was composed in the spring 1983 to the Western Jutland Chamber Ensemble, who premiered the work in June the same year. A quiet and pastoral music with calling horns and folk musical fragments of melodies are through the three movements of the piece met by a manic and stressed music among others created by mecanical sound repetitions and breathless musical oscillations. The two characters overshadow eachother and incessantly the peace is infiltrated with mania so that the resting points of the music disappear. 'Trotto' is the name of an old Italian dance, which rhythm is apparent as an enervating violin rhythm in the middle of the first movement'.

A new programmatic composition that depicts the marvels of modern aviation. The opening represents the take-off and the majesty of the climb into the heavens. But after reaching cruising altitude and soaring peacefully above the clouds, the plane must descend through a strong turbulent storm. All ends well as the pilot regains control of the aircraft and heroically returns the band and your captivated audience safely to the ground. A superior choice for any festival or concert performance. Extraordinary music by one of today's most popular composers.!

Splintered and rich in reference as Tippett's operas are in their music and in their text, they carry at their heart a glowing confidence in the power ofhuman beings to find a centre and, from that centre, to sing. In The Ice Break that confidence has a global reach. The settings are anonymous: an airportlounge, a hospital, the street. For the first time since The Midsummer Marriage, Tippett uses a chorus, here to represent the mass of humanity, whose divisions are pointed in the central cast: divisions between generations, between sexes, between races, between exile and native. Lev arrives in a new world to join his wife Nadia, who had emigrated with their baby son, Yuri. Also at the airport are Yuri's girlfriend Gayle and her friend Hannah, there to meet the black 'champion', Olympion together with his fans. Out of a series of violent tensions, individual and collective, there develops a riot in which Olympion and Gayle are killed and Yuri is near-fatally wounded. Nadia dies peacefully. During an interlude in which a group attempts a psychadelic 'trip', the messenger, Astron, is mistaken for God - a claim he dismisses ironically. Yuri is operated on by Luke, a young doctor, and, released from the cracking plaster, he finds reconciliation with his father.(Paul Griffiths)
