The lyrics were saved, tho. Why? Some self-opinioned church musician found the second interval (an octave) in the melody "improper" (sic!). Or, a story how a beautiful melody, by a famous composer, from before 1637 can disappear ...

"[...]inderdaad een schitterend stuk muziek!" Paul de Nooijer
|
The "Celebration of Light" because of the winter solstice only holds for the Northern hemisphere. After the discovery and capturing of the Southern hemisphere by the North, things turned upside down and for entire peoples the environment became absurdistic. Indeed, in the late Middle Ages, later called the Renaissance, new ideas emerged, especially in art. Like with Botticelli who, in his famous painting Primavera, let a branch grow from the mouth of a virgin. "Tenderness is the opposite of passion; it grows from the awareness of the own vulnerability and helps the other, to whom it is reaching out, to bear his own vulnerable existence." Ton Lemaire - De tederheid (1968 Uitgeverij Ambo n.v.) In Christian tradition Christmas is the feast and celebration of the birth of a Child. At Christmas Jan Pietersz. Sweelinck (1562 - 1621) used to play the organ in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam - according to liturgian prescriptions with a repertoire of Christmas Carols. It was called "het Kindeke wiegen" (rocking the Child) - not sure whether this was already in use in Roman Catholic or only in Protestant tradition, just like the typical Dutch polemics whether Sweelinck belonged to the Catholic or the Protestant Church. When the tilting of the earth reaches the point where the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun's returning from its journey to the South. When the birth of Christ was assessed onto the calendar (4th century) they chose 25th of December - about the day of the Return of the Light, until then, with the Romans, the heathen feast-day of the unconquerable Indo-Persian sun-god Mitra, possibly thanks to the first Christian Emperor Constantine the Great. The song is in Christian tradition - glockenspiel, trumpet, choir and organ. The organ takes the lead, but Lord Jesus grabs his bells & rattle, that he just got from an unknown generous angel, and plays after what he just heard (he's a quick learner!) and even dares to give a solo performance on his glockenspiel! Then, Maria & Joseph, the herds and the angels are delighted and couldn't wait singing and playing a cheerful song, celebrating both the Feast of the Light and the Birth of a King, while Lord Jesus is just listening by now, because it's in his honour. (One and another after my own apocryphical notes). Here's a Merry Christmas song. It stands midway a pastorale and a lullaby, but you could put it this way also: It starts with the story of the herds (St Luke?) - a Pastorale. The repeat might be sung by a little girl (Shirley Temple's "lollipop" sound). Then there's a strange noise in the air and Heaven opens, and the "Fear not!" resounds. Then the herds make themselves up for a cheerful trip to Bethlehem, and the song turns into a song of praise, sung by the angels and the herds, while St.Joseph gets carried away playing his ivory flute. And Lord Jesus wakes up but doesn't cry.

They seem pretty traditional and hackneyed and therefore seem to be slightly worn-out. Here is your strength, Jan. Your sequences are fresh and unknown. I like particularly the one in the third movement. It is really fresh and the tones are mobile, a feature that in my world characterizes a good cadenza. Going towards the ending you use a the passage going down (right after the shout of a kid) and right after that another downward passage making good introduction to the tutti." Christoffer Kofler, Copenhagen "The flute concerto cadenzas are brilliant! [...] Even the smaller, community type orchestras are wonderful to hear live performances. Elaine Lundin, Detroit USA

dédiée à Jean-Baptiste Decavèle "Your "Introduction & Fugue" is wonderful - very inspiring and effective musical interpretation of the artistic work! Lovely poem to go with as well! I did not initially notice the comment that the work was intended as a 'fugue' of rings. But, my brain instantly recognized some type of order / logic / math of sound waves in the work of art - how fascinating to further learn that the artist did intend an organized musical structure to be visually represented. I find it so intriguing when artists challenge the norms of what art "should" look like - that it is not always in a frame / box - I can appreciate a work like this for it's originality and creative execution."

"Jan, this is fantastic! Are you kidding?! That's beautiful writing. From that very first ascending line up to the octave I was just drawn in. And later when you go to the upper register is just beautiful. This is going on my play list." Steve Sachse, guitarist/composer "Lovely piece Jan!" Mike Milillo, composer "Beautiful piece Jan." Great use of the different ranges of flute. Liked the (implied) harmonies and slithering melodic line -- esp. the 16-th triplets. Dan Carr, composer.

"Great job!! Do you think you'll write other longer fugues? Would this really be a grand fugue then? I think the answer would undoubtedly be 'yes', both times. I like how clearly the voices all come out in this - the texture is a rock... not as changing and dynamic as Bach maybe, but if you scroll to any part of this piece and click play, you'll know it's a fugue." Jeff Cattie, composer & music publisher "When the pedals came in really deep, I shuddered. Love it! " Devin Chaloux, composer, graduate student UofCT "... laat, mijns inzien, een heel goed componist horen, vakwerk zeg maar...doorwerking etc is indrukwekkend, klinkt wat respectloos maar het is "een dijk" van een compositie." Liesbeth Martens, COORDINADOR DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE MUSICA/PLASTICA at ESCUNI The lyrics of "The Song of Praise of Maria" did fit amazingly well in the melody of the theme (Genevan Psalter #23) - so, I compiled it to a "Magnificat" Columbus Mvt I |

Solists: Thea Landman: soprano, Carine De Keyzer: cello, Jan Karman: organ, with the Brugs Vocaal Ensemble, the whole under direction of Tony Venneman. -------- Met ontroering heb ik de muziek beluisterd. Na één keer luisteren mijn reactie: het is prachtig. Je hebt voor mij de sfeer van de psalm weten te treffen. Het majestueuze, verwachtingsvolle en feestelijk openingskoor, het serene, gelijkwaardige samenspel tussen cello en sopraan in de duet-aria, de koor aria die rustig vertrouwen ademt, de paradijselijke pastorale. Toen ik bij de pastorale gekomen was, vroeg ik me af hoe je dit op een goede manier zou kunnen afsluiten. Er zijn zoveel verwachtigen gewekt. Maar ook de afronding is wonderwel gelukt: het vol vertrouwen bemoedigd en getroost op weg gaan dat ik hoorde in koor-aria II en het opnieuw majestueuze, voorname slotkoor. Werkelijk een 'grande finale'! Je hebt me met deze muziek een groot plezier gedaan en ik hoop dat het lukt om de cantate uit te voeren, zodat ook anderen ervan kunnen genieten.
