composer of componiste
I posted one page of my composition Secret Date on World Bass Clarinet on facebook and got so much very enthousiastic reactions.

One person want to record it and play with her students of the conservatory, and one want to perform it in Mexico city.
the others want to record it for me. But I always say: next year I know more.

And I'm always looking for some performers for certain pieces that have already been released but not yet officially played, feel free to ask, because I still have some unusual combinations. Maybe there's something for you.
Foli for double bass
I have completed my composition for double bass. The composition is about Africa and the title is Foli: it means there is no movement without rhythm. Perhaps there are still double bass players for this composition.
Chant the Printemps
for satb choir
the composition is based on an old poem, but is contemporary.
Schicksal for violin , cello, piano
The Haarlem trio wants to perform 'Schicksal' composition about a painting by Franz Marc (Tierschicksale), in the Azijnfabriek in 's-Hertogenbosch, Isabel Vaz (cello), Daan Treur (piano) and Natasa Gruic (violin). This time Natasa was abroad so pieces have now been performed for duo. Descending to Avalon (cello solo) and Piano Painting (piano) For the time being 'Schicksal' has been put aside until the trio's next performance if it still exists.
Cosmic Butterfly for violin and cello
My violin/cello composition "Cosmic Butterfly" has been completed, it has become an exciting piece. Cor Coppoolse and Irene Bossier are interested in implementing it in due course, but is not sure, so I am looking for performers
Lost in a winter world
For harp solo, nice piece with effects, find another daredevil. Carla Bos dares to do it and will carry it out this year
Mizu no Oto
A composition about a Japanese garden written in a Japanese way. Composition for harp and violin.
Carla Bos want to perform it with a violist.
Moon and Awaking cello/clarinet
I am still looking for performers for two clarinet/cello pieces. One is Moon, which shows all the phases of the moon and the other is Awaking written in the style of Messiaen. Pierre Lafay (clarinet teacher Groningen conservatory) has played through the clarinet part and thinks it is a very good piece. Looking for performers now. In this moment i am busy to make the composition Awaking for Clarinet and bass clarinet, for there are few duos clarinet cello, mostly occasional duos.
I have also made Awaking to perform for clarinet and bassoon and for clarinet and bass clarinet.
I have Moon made for clarinet and theremin and for theremin and piano.
New composition for piccolo solo.
In this moment Dusica Nikolic is helpfull with the composition and playing it through. when see has time see will perform it.
I was advised by John Damsma to promote my choir piece and he also gave me some names of very good choirs, because that was necessary, he said. So I started with that. The composition was just finished before the corona time and was going to be performed, but everything turned out differently. I composed the piece and got very good advice from Mark van Platen for all the dots on the i and that was necessary because he is the specialist for choral music and choral music is just a different genre. So I'm curious to see if I get some responses. So far no interest, everyone has already completed their program.
Funny Distances is a piece for flute solo, the composition is based on single distances of a minor second, minor third, fourth and fifth. It was recorded this week and performed by Gyorgy Fazakas and it was a nice collaboration.

Music to a fairy tale by Hans Cristiaan Andersen for flute and bass flute will be published soon. I have already received the proof.
Is now it is with Helen Hendriks , who wants to make a recording in a studio and compile both parts and she is thinking about making an arti film with it. With (sculpted) figures that are then illuminated in such a way that the shadow literally takes on a life of its own.
This summer I wrote a piece for clarinet solo. Contemplation.
I turned the whole corona year into music for a while, as I and many have experienced.
Of course it can also be a reflection of a lifetime, with all the ups and downs.
Everyone has to fill in what he/she thinks/feels or doesn't think about the music.
The piece is dedicated to Hans Hemerijck my publisher with whom I have been working for 10 years this year and will be published in due course.
The piece was performed by Werner De Bleser and was recorded.

15 April Contemplation is performed by Peter Koestveld in Veenendaal There will be made a recording. It was perfect.
Pandora composition for solo violin is now with the publisher. He thought it was a nice solo work, so it will be published in due course. (At the moment everything is still silent due to corona.)
It's about Pandora's box from Greek mythology. The song of Seikilos has been taken as a basis, the oldest song ever found with lyrics and music in Greece.
It was very nice work to depict the story. That is also what I always prefer to do and I make it my own story in notes and words. Quirine van Hoek, Claire Adams, and Irene Bossier have provided me with good advice.
Natasa Grujic will schedule it soon I hope, I hope.
Despite the corona crisis, I still wrote a composition for cello solo for Isabel Vaz. she's going to do it.
The idea is based on Galician cantigas from around 1300 and also written in this medieval style.
The play is about a damsel at her castle. She has a date with her lover and the play is about the day before the nightly adventure. Starts with the sunrise and ends with the sunrise the day after.
I have also made an arrangement of Gaiiteta for carillon, Janno den Engelsman has already passed it on and thinks it is a very good piece for carillon. It will be played in May 2022 in Bergen op Zoom on the carillon of the Peperbus. Then I made another arrangement for bass clarinet, this piece has a different title on the advice of the publisher. And on the advice of Peter Geijsels I edited the piece and he gave me good advice.
All three pieces will be published in due course.
Gaiteta
The composition for basclarinet has a new name: Secret Date and Almu CV is playing it through.
