17. Postludium from Greece

Tobias spent 4 years in Greece and when he picks up the guitar you can hear that he loved the Athens Rebetika scene. He tells me that harmonies and counterpoint are not part of the genre. I still had a go. Tobias actually wrote lyrics for this (in Greek); we may record the full version soon…

16. Winds of change

A song composed on a grand piano my wife Jackie gave me for my birthday. We wrote lyrics for it but here is just the instrumental version.

15. Interludium in C minor

My son Niklas plays a lot of these energetic melodies on the piano. I asked him to finalise one of them, so I could add some bass and guitar.

14. Lament

Not lamenting the death of a real person; Tim needed something for a film wherein the cast launched into a humming chorus after a character was shot; I sent him a rough draft, but Tim developed something better, so I could reclaim (and play with) my tune.

13. Preludium: Don’t you know?

My son Tim asked me to write a violin accompaniment to one of his songs. So I produced this accompaniment (saluting JS Bach) to the chorus of the video song “Don’t you know?” (for the full version: google TimH Don’t You Know). There are 3 references to Bach, which I combined in one canon:
1 The art of fugue: opening theme
2 Mattheus passion: Kommt, Ihr Töchter
3 Brandenburg 3: first movement

12. Knackered

A rather typical after work tune (the same chord sequence repeated 9 times!), but the instrumentation reflects the successive moods:
Knackered in the sofa (dragging string quartet)
A glimpse of recovery (add piano)
Regaining energy (flute)
Seeing the funny side of it (baritone)
Remembering the drag ….. (violin)
Calming down ….
Reaching relaxation (guitars)
Not forgetting the drag …. (Violin)
Ultimate piece and joy

11. Shifty Look

Alex and I were colleagues in Luxembourg, and later in London where we shared a flat for a while, so we played and wrote a fair number of songs and instrumental pieces before and after work. We should record them all, but that’s for another day. Here’s one that refuses to leave my head.

10. Midnight Variation

This is a variation of a song Dirk and I wrote for a musical which never saw the light of day. The song “On voudrait vivre sans problèmes”, was in French chanson style, sung in close harmony, and for our musical we had several variations. This one in five fourths stuck in my mind, though I tried a new arrangement …

9. Alex’ Waltz

An extremely old one! One of the first tunes I developed on a piano. In 2018, I developed it with the help of Paul Mann for string orchestra (recording by the Ukraine Festival Orchestra available at Toccata Classics “Music for My Love” volume 2). Here is a short piano version from which it all started.

8. World Untouched

Another tune derived from an earlier song I wrote. The army of flutes played by Nadia and the guitar played by Andrey give it an unusual texture. The string quartet only comes in at the end, and I wanted it to sound as if they picked up a variation from the cellar.

1. Far away

1. Far away

This piece featured ages ago in a local theatre play (Mr Piroen by Felix Timmermans) performed in Mortsel (near Antwerp): The female character sang a poem to her far away love. I turned the poem into a song.  I’ve long forgotten the words, but the tune stuck in my mind and is rather suitable for the classical guitar.

Composed by Wim Hautekiet (around 1980)
