Juriaan Andriessen

Flute Solo

The prominent Dutch composer Jurriaan Andriessen composed this overture for the 75th anniversary of the Dutch Air Force. The work sounds as dynamic as our Air Force proves to be.

A masterpiece of our own soil: the perfect synthesis of jazz combo and wind band. A composition with an international air.

Andriessen had a go at a work for Variable Jazz-Combo and Symphonic Wind Band. 'Song for Lilian' is already a tasteful example. Modern, with a rhithmic drive and well-written.

The composer thinks his 'Overture for an Imaginary Play' (1987) does not need any comment at all.
