Toelichting:
A few years ago, Daan Manneke asked me to arrange his Faux Bourdon for solo violin. This idea remained on the shelf until the beginning of this year, when I realised, I could do something on a bigger scale with this piece.
Instead of “just” arranging it for solo violin, I decided to write variations on it. With this idea in mind I composed a work in four movements.
The last movement contains the variations on Daanʼs piece.
Unlike what we find in the traditional “theme and variations” form, where the variations are composed on one theme, I approached this form
by orchestrating Daanʼs entire work and interrupting it three times to compose a variation on the previously heard material. Throughout the last movement, one can also hear quotations from other works by Daan Manneke, including Archipel II, Pneoo, Syrinx, and Fructus for Sytze.
Special thanks to Donemus for providing me with all the necessary scores.
