This composition is based on the march from Henry Purcell’s Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, a work written in 1694. In this fantasia, various movements flow from one to the next following the main theme; these movements not onlyelaborate on the theme, but also contrast with it. At times, the thematic material diverges so much, that the work acquires a character of its own; however, the composer often refers back to fragments of the theme. This work was test piece in the 4thdivision of the Dutch National Brass Band Championships (NBK) in 2017.Deze compositie is gebaseerd op de mars uit Henry Purcells Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, een werk uit het jaar 1694. In deze fantasia wordt het hoofdthema gevolgd door verschillende in elkaar overgaande delen die voortborduren op hetthema of er een contrast mee vormen. Alhoewel het thematisch materiaal soms zodanig afwijkt dat het werk een geheel eigen karakter krijgt, grijpt de componist toch steeds weer terug op flarden van het origineel. Dit werk was het verplichte werk op deNederlandse Brassband Kampioenschappen (NBK), 2017 vierde divisie.Die Komposition basiert auf dem Marsch aus Henry Purcells Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II, einem Werk, das 1694 komponiert wurde. Auf das Hauptthema der Fantasie folgen verschiedene, ineinander übergehende Sätze. In den Sätzen wirdjedoch nicht nur das Thema weiterentwickelt, sondern sie bilden zugleich einen Gegensatz zu dem Thema. Auch wenn das thematische Material manchmal so stark voneinander abweicht, dass das Werk einen ganz eigenen Charakter erhält, kehrt der Komponistimmer wieder zu Fragmenten des Themas zurück. Das Werk war 2017 Pflichtstück in der Leistungsklasse 4 bei den Dutch National Brass Band Championships (NBK).Cette composition se base sur la marche de la Music for the funeral of Queen Mary II (Musique pour les funérailles de la reine Mary II) d’Henry Purcell, une œuvre écrite en 1694.

Henry Purcell (1659-1695) held numerous appointments at the Royal court and Westminster Abbey, and is considered by many to be the greatest ever English-born composer. His prolific work covered all fields: orchestral, ecclesiastical, operatic, theatrical, incidental, and chamber music were all enriched by his output.
Fantazias And In Nomines is a collection of his 15 Fantasies and 2 In Nomines, Z. 731-747. Purcell is credited with popularising the hitherto arcane form of the Fantasy, perhaps most famously in his Fanstasia Upon One Note, where a middle C is sustained throughout - in live performances this issometimes played by a volunteer from the audience!
This full score edition has been edited by the renowned musicologist Robert Thurston Dart.
