Description:
Program note (English): My first symphony contains all musical aspects from my Capriccio for Stan & Ollie (1996) to my second trombone concerto Visiting The Angels (2004). In this respect I see my first Symphony as a distillation of a lot of musical ideas. Perhaps a marking point in my composing: time will show. But that doesn't mean this symphony came into being with a preconceived idea. Before I start composing I don't make any sketches and don't think of any system. But I set to work pure musical ideas and inspiration and I compose directly into a fully orchestrated score. The titles of the 3 movements rose to the surface while composing. Slowly I realized I was being occupied with moods, whether personal or not. - MARIJN SIMONS
