De Haske Music Domus Concert Band Level 3 Composed by Jan Van der Roost

When composing this work, the brief from the commissioning band was for the composer to base the work on a chorale-like subject matter, and this he has done with aplomb In the very first bars a chorale melody is presented and gradually the same thematic material is more extensively orchestrated with the melodic themes becoming more varied With a few surprising harmonic turns the piece comes to a majestic end This is a well-structured work of extreme elegance Dur: 9:10
