Program Notes
Keystone tells the story of the Odeon of Vriezenveen, a town in the Netherlands. Odeon is the name of ancient Greek and Roman buildings used for activities such as singing, music and poetry. This was the name chosen in 1998 by several members of the Vriezenveense Harmonie for the cultural centre they decided to have built.
The piece starts slowly with the bass instruments, then speeds up in a counterpoint passage where the main motif moves from one set of instruments to another. After a slower section, the music speeds up again to reach a majestic chorale symbolising the splendid Odeon.
- Program Note from publisher
Commissioned by the Vriezenveense Harmonie (NL) for its centenary in 2020 and its conductor Erik van de Kolk.
