Yes! The Book of Urizen is a composition for wind band, voice (soprano) and (male) speaking voice, in which religious messages are rendered through noise collages. The cycle of poems of the same name by the great English poet and painter William Blake served as a source of inspiration. The poems form the musical guide through the music of Jacob de Haan. The work consists of two compositions: The Vision and The Creation. The Book of Urizen is a fascinating composition that will captivate musicians and audiences alike.
