Trio for Flute, Viola and Cello

Part III, written in the 8-notes-scale and arranged with only harmonies within that scale. It results in somewhat unusual sounding harmony, full of surprises. Whereas a 'normal' scale has 7 different notes, The scale here uses 8 different notes, which has the consequence that some sequences are pretty chromatic and of course it has repercussions in the chord building as well.

Trio for Flute, Viola and Cello - Part III: 8 Notes Reel

Fourth movement of the trio: written in the zigane scale (except middle part). 
The whole trio was recorded with the VI Pro full instruments by VSL (Vienna Symphonic Library).

Trio for Flute, Viola and Cello - Part IV: Ziganeska

After 200 years, man wants to return from outer space to earth after he had destroyed the planet and its nature almost completely. He left it as an arid and lifeless world. He hopes now that nature could have restored itself so that a return would offer him a new future, a new genesis.
The sung choir text is not yet available. The narrator text is in Dutch.

The recording was made with all VSL instruments and choir, in Studio One Pro.

Hymne Voor Kuurne 900 - JosWylin

This is a song taken from "De Wijze Kater", a musical stage play for which I wrote 21 songs in 1998.
Unfortunately the only recording I have is the one performed on the Roland synthesizer, without the voices.
I'll post some more songs later.

Antoinette's Song

Another song taken from my musical: "The Wise Tomcat". This stage play counts in total 21 songs.

The Marshal's and Steward's Song

The song of the king in despair about his finances... Unfortunately I didn't have any text recording.

The stage play was written in 1998, with as main instrument the Roland JV 1010 synth.

Beethoven Serenata D Op25 - Menuet

This ballet was commissioned by my town for its 900th anniversary. It is a burlesque ballet, referring to the "asini", donkeys transporting vegetables and flax to the market of Courtrai in the 19th and early 20th century. The inhabitants of my town were called "donkeys", because they were always accompanied by their animals for the transport...

Balletto dell'Asino

Running Waters is based on the Czech Folksong "Teče Voda, Teče", a love song also known in Slovakia. The composition is a choir fantasy with active support of the orchestra. My source of inspiration was clearly "The Moldau" by the Czech composer Bedrich Smetana", but that's only a reference. It has a philosophical connotation: water as a metaphor for life. It begins very small like tiny mountain spurts, growing steadily to a mighty river which finally flows into the endless ocean. Life itself doesn't end with death, it continues in the endlessness of the universe...

Running Waters

1918 was written at the occasion of the remembrances of Word War I in 2018. It's dedicated to all the young men who gave their lives for our freedom.  In this concert overture, the mixed feelings after the war's end are being expressed: immense joy, hope, pride but also grief, deep sadness for all the missing sons, fathers, brothers and for the meaningless destructions that a war always causes.

1918 - The Last Post

This "Paspie" or passepied is a rapid ¾-dance from the 16th to the 19th century. The example here dates from the second half of the 18th century. It has been a court dance until the middle of the 19th century. Once more, the composer is unknown. The arrangement is my own, since most of these dances were collected as single melody lines. The picture shows the paspie's original notation.

I have written this tune for young accordion students (it's in fact a piece for two accordions). I called it "Ukranian Dance" because of its danceability and Slavic sound color. The level is rather easy, the sonic performance intermediate.
It was performed on the virtual bayans* by Elya Efimov.

Danse Générale

This is the first movement of a piece for flute, viola and cello. The different movements have an unusual scale to obtain a great variation in expression and experience. The recording is close and intimate to draw the listener into the music.

Trio for Flute, Viola and Cello - Part II: Chasing Dorian

Retired music teacher and composer from Flanders (Belgium). Founder and conductor of De Kleine Compagnie. Composer of orchestral/symphonic music, religious songs, theater music; arranger of a large number folk tunes and dances.

I prefer to write in a classical or romantic style, avoiding to use experimental musical languages in order to reach a broad audience. A number of the orchestral pieces have already been performed live (by a large orchestra).

To listen to my pieces here, the use of headphones is recommended.

Have a pleasant listen!
