MUSIC EXAMPLES
|
 |
| For these music examples please visit the Dutch part
of my website. I only give here the translations of the commentaries:
|
 |
| 1) Example of a Brucknerian beginning rising from a nature
sound (fifth): start Symphony nr. 1 (1991/92) for large orchestra |
 |
| 2) Concerto for Horn Trio and strings (1994): the transition
from the free cadence for horns (the central movement) to the folkloristic
final movement (Balkan-rhythm!) |
 |
| 3) First page String Quartet nr. 2 "Melodies": remarkable
long melodic lines in chamber music |
 |
| 4) Sonata for clarinet and piano: a gradual building-up
rising from a chord. N.B. Note the Rilke-citation as a source of inspiration!
|
 |
| 5) Part of the "Song of Unity" for voice and guitar:
oriental melodic patterns with use of Indian rhythmical schedules (Tala's) |
 |
| 6) "Rupaka" for guitar solo (1984) ; fragment that has
been influenced by Messiaen and India ("Rupaka" is a raga-pattern) |
 |
| 7) Example of the Songs by Peter Visser: beginning of
the French Rilke-cycle "Les Roses", both inspired by Frank Martin and
Messiaen |
 |
| 8) Example of piano music by Peter Visser: a very characteristic
Toccata-fragment from the Five Nocturnes (1989) |
 |
| 9) First page of the chamber music cycle "Landscapes"
for flute, cello and piano (1995): experimental spatial notation. Note
the commentaries below! |
