About the Taiwan Fantasia, van Deursen states: After having lived in Taipei for a number of years, I learned many of the local folk and popular songs. Some of the melodies are exceptionally beautiful, and my idea was to somehow combine all the elements that have made up my musical experiences over these years - Chinese melodies, western orchestral music and jazz; I wanted to see if these songs could survive with a totally different harmonic structure and concept. My original goal was to write a simple arrangement of the two songs, but quickly I discovered more melodies building upon the original ones and thus the Variations were born. Composed in 1995, this work of about 10 minutes in length is in one continuous movement, but is divided into seven short sections of contrasting moods including two cadenzas, for Trumpet and Trombone. The music is appropriate for advanced performers. Parts in C and B-flat are supplied for the Trumpets. A recording of Taiwan Fantasia can be purchased on iTunes from the album by the Yeh Shu Han Brass Quintet.

Hermann Regner took up a suggestion of Carl Orffs in his preface to Klavierubung in the Orff Schulwerk, where he wrote: The melodies, which are close to nursery rhymes, folk songs and dancing songs, should first of all... be played in unison...The simple accompanying parts can be extended and built up. The little pieces, which can easily be put together in a suite, can be repeated several times,... verse by verse...!' With this in mind, Hermann Regner, for many years a colleague of Carl Orffs, has chosen individual pieces from the collection and arranged them for brass. They represent an enrichment in the repertoire for such groups. They are also suitable for music schools.
