The Lady from the Sea | De vrouw van de zee

I wrote incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's play The Lady from the Sea.
The music, commissioned by theater company WARNS, consists of an Introduction and four Entr'actes.
The scoring is for percussion, flugelhorn, piano, strings, voices and some electronic effects.
The score is not meant to be executed, however. I made the score and the sound files in Sibelius and mixed the music in Logic.
The performances: June 15 and 16 (20:30 p.m.), June 17 (15:00 p.m.)

First performance of De Dag Daagt [The Day Dawns] for organ
02 04 12 Filed in: concerts
Premiere: April 14, 2012 | 20:15
Orgelpark, Amsterdam
[flyer: Sandra Macrander]
The subject of De Dag Daagt for (pipe) organ is the morning twilight, during which night turns into day. At that point the sun is still beneath the horizon, and the nearer it approaches the horizon, the lighter the sky becomes, and the stars are extinguished. We are able to discern more and more of our surroundings, which appear like »a ceremony,« as Wislawa Szymborska so beautifully puts it in her poem Early Hour [Wczesna godzina].
The music concludes at the moment that the first ray of sunshine reaches the earth directly.
