Description:
Program note (English): (Première: 5-2-1964 - Amsterdam - Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bernard Haitink, conducting) The following can be noted about the music: this reflects in the sense of mirroring, not reflecting. It is up to the listener, after reading the synopsis, as to what will be recognised in the music. Each movement has specific notes. The score contains however also unmentioned details. The consecutive movement of the consonance pictures is not always chronological; as a result, this is not programme music in the usual sense of the word. The form has been composed ex improviso - i.e. from the unforeseen. Easily distinguishable are the themes of the king and of the monk. The vampire is represented by the clarinet in e-flat, the yogin by solo violin. My intention was for the audience to listen creatively to a strange but extremely coloured and captivating tale. They do not need to worry about technical, compositional matters like main or parallel, augmentation, diminutions, mirrorings etc.;
that searching would be in vain. In this way I dedicate this work, in addition to the conductor and members of the Concertgebouworkest, to the Concertgebouw audience. The tonal harmony and melodics are alternatively based on dia - and octotonics, however very freely. Several tonal centers vary with each other; the improvisatory character yields the possibility of a central place within the piece. - ANTON VAN DER HORST
