Saint Benedict Cantata- Cantica de Sancto Benedicto is a three-movement work for mixed choir soprano solo concert band and organ ad libitum - on Latin lyrics that relate to the life of Saint Benedict. It was commissioned by the city of Norcia in Italy whereBenedict was born. The holy Benedict (480-547) is considered the founder of monastic life within the Roman Catholic Church. His enormous influence is especially owing to his monastic rule the Regula Benedicti.Jacob de Haan has named the movements of Cantica de Sancto Benedicto after the Holy Trinity: the Father ( Gloria Patri ) the Son ( Gloria Filio ) and the Holy Spirit ( Gloria Spiritui Sancto ). The lyrics of thehymn Gemma Caelestis (which like the othertexts were originally used in Gregorian chant) are voiced by the choir. To this purpose Jacob de Haan composed new choral-like homophone music. The sequence Laeta Quies is rendered by the soprano; the verses (divided over the threemovements) are alternated with those of Gemma Caelestis . The work closes with an impressive grand finale in which texts are used from the proprium of the mass in honor of the saint’s day of the holy Benedict (11 July). Notes to the conductor:For this cantata there are various possibilities for the performance. The first involves a performance in which the choir and soprano parts are only accompanied by organ. Such a performance has several advantages: since the band never soundstogether with the choir and the soprano no balance problems occur and even a performance with a large concert band and a small cantata choir is conceivable. A special layout is also possible - with which you can set up a three-dimensionalperformance in a church. For example the choir can sing in the chancel accompanied by the choir organ; the soprano can stand on the gallery accompanied by the main organ; and the band can be seated in another part of the church. The choir couldalso sing from a gallery. With layouts like this working with two conductors is advisable. Choral parts available separately.

De compositie 'Drachten' werd geschreven in opdracht van de gemeente Smallingerland ter gelegenheid van de Nederlandse Fanfare Kampioenschappen 2004 in Drachten. Het werk beeldt de merkwaardige tweedeling uit van de Drachtster bevolking. De inwoners van de gemeente Smallingerland en de plaats Drachten in het bijzonder zijn kleurrijk van samenstelling. Ongeveer de helft van de bewoners onderstreept het socialistische gedachtegoed terwijl de andere helft meer de conventionele christelijke partijen steunt. Muzikaal gezien leidde dit gegeven tot de keuze voor twee thema's met vrije variaties over deze thema's: enerzijds psalm 1 een melodie met onbekende herkomst uit het Liedboek der kerken en anderzijds de Internationale een melodie die geschreven werd door Adolphe de Geyter en die vooral het oude socialisme symboliseert. Beide melodieën strijden om de eer in een afwisselende rapsodische compositie die de vele mogelijkheden en kleuren van de fanfare voor het voetlicht brengt. Het werk bestaat uit vier geledingen met elk een eigen karakter. Het vierde gedeelte grijpt tegen het slot terug op de eerste episode. De twee thema's worden met compositorische virtuositeit in kleine motiefjes sierlijke lijnen en stoere melodieën naar voren gebracht. Daarmee worden de twee hoofdstromingen van de bevolking weergeven waarbinnen veel nuancering aanwezig is. De compositie werd geschreven als testpiece en is daarom een bijzonder uitdagend werk waarin alle groepen van het orkest hun aandeel hebben. Tegelijkertijd is het werk in een toegankelijk idioom geschreven zodat er voor de luisteraar meer te beleven valt dan enkel technisch vernuft.
