Rainbow concerto : for cello and orchestra / JacobTV - Jacob Ter Veldhuis

Toelichting:
While working on my Rainbow Concerto I often had to think of a horizon, an inaccessible 'there' that never approaches. I tried to compose a vague desire sounding like 'elsewhere' in the first slow
movement. Was this possibly that inaccessible paradise? Paradiso is a search for celestial beauty, to harmony, delight and ecstasy. A fantastic world of eternal happiness, in which suffering and death are nonexistent. Rosy clouds hang above this concerto. 'Perpetuity' is sounding in the movement of intervals of seconds with a total absence of dissonances. The work built up from two movements: a celestial adagio, which fluently proceed in an earthly allegro.
I associate the diatonic scale with the seven rainbow colours of the rainbow. Each of the seven tones contains a specific timbre. Is a non-existent melody possible? Sometimes I concentrate on a single tone and try to elicit melodic inversions. From some of these tones musical 'arcs' arise, outlining contours like a rainbow. Already in 1979, I wrote an orchestral work called Rainbow Variations. The rainbow obviously intrigues me. Just like music it is fleeting, and in fact an illusion. But I gladly leave these thoughts to the philosophers.
