A Poem by Hermann Hesse (1877-1962)- Stufen (Degrés) est une composition pour Soprano ou Mezzo-soprano et Orchestre d’Harmonie basée sur le poème philosophique éponyme du romancier et poète germano-suisse Hermann Hesse (1877-1962). Le poème évoque les différentes étapes de la vie. La trame musicale de Jacob de Haan porte la marque de la musique post-romantique de Richard Wagner et Richard Strauss. Stufen est placé sous le signe d’un adieu qui fait la part belle à la mélancolie - motif premier qui détermine l’essentiel du climat musical. Le passage instrumental final se développe comme un contrepoids à la tristesse. La musique change de couleur l’atmosphère est sereine et apaisante : de Lamineur nous passons en Do Majeur tonalité pure innocente et lumineuse. L’accord brisé de trois sons (Do Majeur) dans un mouvement ascendant et l’accord lumineux des flûtes et des hautbois apportent une touche aérienne au développement.
