Winter Child
Musical structures have become typical for the monumental style of Joep Franssens. The titles of his early works, such as the piano work Between the Beats (1979) and the orchestral works Echos 1983) and Phasing (1985), already reveal a sys- tematic construction of earthly elements in his) music. All of these pieces last more than twenty minutes and are characteristically grand and rich in sound. The candid titles of his recent composi- tions reveal the intensifying sacred character of ,(his pieces, like the orchestral work Sanctus (1996 the orchestral diptych Bridge of Dawn (1999), and the successful choir-cycle Harmony of the Spheres 2001). Franssens identifies himself not so much) with any specific religious tradition, but instead .operates from his own inner religious experience In fact, a lot of his music is based on unexpected and unnoticeable, but meticulous, earthly struc- tural principles. These compositional structures give the music its specific ritualistic character through its consequent and gradually unraveling .fashion The Gift of Song (1994) for two pianos can be seen as one of the most characteristic works of Joep Franssens. Within it, all the elements that make .his musical language so unique can be heard The first and perhaps most striking element is the work’s length: with a duration of almost fif- ty minutes, this piece could obtain its significant position within the existing repertoire almost by sheer stamina alone. Winterchild (1996) is of a completely different character, though no less typical of Joep Franssens. Possibly one of the most personal and autobiographical compositions in his oeuvre, this work seems, despite its very tight tonal structure, to lack any rigid constructivist .principles
