En général la musique de film est composée à partir et en fonction des événements qui se produisent dans l’intrigue du scénario. L’inverse est plutôt rare mais Jacob de Haan parvient à nous démontrer le contraire avec La Storia . Sans jamais nous livrer des éléments de l'intrigue il nous propose environ sept minutes de musique intense. Par conséquent l’œuvre fait appel à l’imagination individuelle ; chacun d’entre nous étant libre de créer son propre scénario à partir de ce qu’il entend. Avec La Storia Jacob de Haan rend hommage au maître italien de la musique de film : Ennio Morricone.

Jan Van der Roost originally composed each and every note of ‘Slavia’ (as in case in ‘Puszta’ ‘Rikudim’ and ‘A Highland Rhapsody’). Consequently ‘Slavia’ does not contain any arrangement of existing tunes but is an original composition ‘in the style of…’. The introduction has an ABA structure and exposes a broad melodic line. Following a short cadenza there is a second movement in a fast and fiery tempo. The tempi increase gradually culminating in an exciting final climax making this ‘Slavonic Rhapsody’ a spell-binding experience to the very last note.

Variazioni in Blue est basé sur une série de variations dans laquelle des éléments du blues (comme les fameuses blue notes ) servent de fil conducteur.

Elle est suivie par une deuxième variation dans le style du blues et par une troisième plus rapide dont le caractère provient des musiques traditionnelles d’Europe de l’Est. L’ Andante espressivo contient de subtils changements harmoniques. Ce mouvement évolue en une reprise de la variation folklorique précédente dont l’intensité est augmentée par le passage enMajeur qui conduit vers le finale.
