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