Distorted Fantasia (after J.P. Sweelinck) : for orchestra / Joey Roukens

Description:
I have a great affinity with his music [of Sweelinck], particularly the keyboard works, which I regularly play myself on the piano. One of the Fantasias in Dorian mode (SWwV 259) forms the basis of this work. Sweelinck is always present, but 'filtered through 21st-century glasses', as in a (contemporary) dream that distorts the music in a surreal way. The work draws Sweelinck's idiom into our time with alienating harmonies, distorted rhythms and dramatic contrasts.
