Symphonie XI / Jan van DijkI

Symphonie XI Opus 947 was composed in 1998 by Jan van Dijk, a highly respected composer who wrote music for many different types of ensembles and orchestras. The original handwritten score was originally published by Donemus. This new edition by Mansarda-Sintra and Donemus was made for the LenteWind 2007 project. The LenteWind (Spring Breeze) projects are held each year in march/april and are a vehicle to introduce new compositions with a special character to musicians and the audiance. Although Symphonie XI might not be brand new, its language is so special, that Conductor Joop Boerstoel and the publishers decided that the music of Jan van Dijk deserved the spottlights in LenteWind 2007. It consists of four parts: Proloog, Pensée, Intermezzo and Finale, that are shaped by the use of polyfony and coulourings.

Hercules Magusanus / Matthijs KruikI
partituur en geluidsopname

In the Batavian part of the Roman Empire, located in the area of Maas and Waal, temples were built in the Gallo-Roman style at the beginning of our era. Remains of temples have been found near Kessel, which were probably dedicated to the supreme god Hercules Magusanus. This name is a combination of the Roman demigod Hercules and the supreme god of the Batavians, Magusanus. The mythological figure depicts the strength of the young coupled with the wisdom of the elderly. In the first part of the march, heroism and great physical strength are voiced and in the second half knowledge and life experience are central. Motifs from the introduction are also woven through the Trio and the Grandioso, making the link between the two divinities audible! With this march Matthijs once again demonstrates his interest in the Romans. Earlier he published the impressive composition 'Nero', performed with great success by the Shell Harmonie Amsterdam (now Symfonisch Harmonieorkest Amsterdam) conducted by Jan Schut in the series 'Blazen in de beurs' in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam.
