Verdict (original recording)
I wrote this composition in January 1992 when I wanted to write something in the style of the music of the Belgium composer Wim Mertens. Because the group he originated to play his music was called 'Soft Verdict' I decided to name this piece 'Verdict'. The music doesn't sound really like the work of the before mentioned Belgium composer who I admire, but I like it anyway. After 2 minutes the piano takes a solo of 12 bars and three minutes after the start of the piece, the French horn part stops and the piano goes on for almost one and a half minute. There is a fade-out and four bars before the end, the music returns for a second ending with piano-chords. I had to puzzle quite some time to find out which solo-instrument I should use and finally decided to use the sound of a French horn.
Recorded: 24/4/'93, 6/12/'99
Instrument used for the recording: E-mu Proteus/1
When I got my sampler, I decided to record it again, but this time with a sampled piano and a cor Anglais instead of a French horn, since the part for that instrument apeared to be out of its reach.
Recorded: 5/4/'04
Instrument used for the recording: Akai Z4 sampler
Instruments the music is written for:
Piano
French horn / cor Anglais

This German group has recorded a song called ‘Rare bird', which I liked very much. Besides this, I felt the lyrics, which were about the German poet Friedrich Hölderlin, described my own feelings as well. ... more
