Analecta Varia

Harrie Janssen composed Analecta Varia in memory of Henk van Lijnschooten (1928-2006).
He has been of great influence on the Dutch music for wind instruments.
As a conductor and as a member of the jury, but above all as a prominent composer.
Consists of eight sound studies that can also be performed separately. In each part a particular orchestral aspect is the central point.

The eight parts
1. Choral: ensemble in monophonic texture.
2. Air: relatively free line patterns combined with a constant pulse.
3. Pavana: constant rhythmicity culminating in an orchestral tutti.
4. Lullaby: dissonant harmonyabove an organ point in a filigree instrumentation.
5. Chaconne: color and virtuosity combined with a rigid pasacaglian theme.
6. Interlude: antithesis woodwind/brass and followed by a synthesis of the before.
7. Fugue: ensemble in a polyphonic texture.
8. Epilogue: final canto in a preponderating strong dynamic, where a constant euphony has to be pursued.
