Joining Forces
very excited about my first concert piece for Fanfare Band with percussion ensemble! After Alta Crucis, my first piece
for wind band last year, i am very thankfull getting my first commission for Fanfare band! Thanks to Concordia Leveroy and the conductors Jan Kitzen and Roy Janssen for believing in
me.
The premiere will be fall/winter of 2019.
The 10 minute piece is all about joining forces between communities, in music and in life, were people are working together for the same goal.
Paradigm Shift
Is a concert piece for Flutes/Percussion Orchestra. This seemingly special combination is a common ensemble formation in the south of
the Netherlands and nearby Germany and is originated in the local marching and ancient cultural folklore: the civic guards. Various ensembles however have developed themselves in large and modern
concert ensembles with piccolo's, flute, altflute and even bassflutes.
Together with a large percussion section with vibes, marimbas, timpani and percussion many is possible.
This piece shifts the paradigm even further and continues the emancipation of this orchestral form with influences of the modern 20th century classical and
popular styles from nowadays. The piece is commissioned by Flute & Percussion Orchestra St. Paulus Schaesberg conducted by Dominique Rohenkohl.
D'Artagnan: le Siege de Maestricht
This epic concertpiece for large melodic percussion ensemble is commissioned by ensemble st. Petrus & Paulus Wolder, Maastricht, directed by Paul Schrader.

Beneath the church of Wolder, legend has is, is burried the famous musketeer D'Artagnan. He died in the siege of Maastricht in the 17th century when the French wanted to conquer the
Netherlands. This concert piece tells the story of this battle through the eyes of the legendary D'Artagnan. The music is combined with a Narrator to draw everyone even more into this epic
