When Dvorák wrote his Serenade for 10 winds and 2 lower strings in January 1878, the heyday of the great wind serenades and “Harmoniemusik” wind ensembles was already long gone. He was probably inspired by hearing Mozart's Gran Partita shortly beforehand in Vienna. The home key of d minor here is striking, as is the often serious, even tragic atmosphere that repeatedly darkens the otherwise cheerful mood that is typical of the serenade genre. Perhaps this was a reaction to the death of two of his children just a few months earlier. Despite the work's dramatic character - or perhaps because of it - Dvorák's Serenade was taken up in many European cities soon after its first performance in Prague, and fêted as a significant contribution to the chamber music repertoire for wind instruments. The autograph sources in Prague have been consulted for this Urtext edition. The parts are printed with player-friendly page divisions, perfect page-turning opportunities, and practical alternative parts in F for the three horns.

The Chinese conceptions yin and yang represent the two contradicting principles of an object or phenomenon, such as day and night, light and dark, man and woman. In Yin Yang Serenade this can be found in the musical opposites, legato-staccato and minor-major, creating an work with great atmospheric contrast.

De Chinese begrippen yin en yang vertegenwoordigen de twee tegenovergestelde principes van een voorwerp of verschijnsel, zoals dag en nacht, licht en donker, man en vrouw, enz. In Yin Yang Serenade is dit onder andere terugte vinden in de tegenstellingen legato-staccato en mineur-majeur - waardoor een mooi sfeercontrast ontstaat.

Die chinesischen Symbole Yin und Yang stehen für zwei gegensätzliche Prinzipien eines Objekts oder Phänomens, wie zum Beispiel Tag und Nacht, Licht und Dunkel oder Mann und Frau. In Jacob de Haans Yin Yang Serenade bestehen die Prinzipien in den musikalischen Gegensätzen legato und staccato sowie Moll und Dur. Diese Paare kreieren einen stimmungsvollen Kontrast, der die Yin Yang Serenade zu einem besonderen Erlebnis für Musiker und Publikum macht.

La philosophie chinoise est dominée par les notions de Yin et de Yang, deux principes naturels opposés et complémentaires qui déterminent tout individu, toute chose et tout phénomène. Le Yin et le Yang sont le masculin et le féminin, le jour et la nuit, l’obscurité et la lumière, etc. Dans Yin Yang Serenade, Jacob de Haan applique cette conception la musique en opposant le jeu en legato au jeu en staccato, la tonalité mineure la tonalité Majeure, etc., donnant ainsi naissance des contrastes éthérés et fluides.

La filosofia cinese si appoggia alle nozioni di Yin e di Yang, due principi naturali opposti e complementari che determinano ogni individuo e ogni fenomeno. Il Yin e il Yang sono il maschile ed il femminile, il giorno e la notte, l’oscurit e la luce…. In Yin Yang Serenade, Jacob de Haan applica questo concetto alla musica, opponendo il gioco in legato a quello in staccato, la tonalit maggiore a quella minore, dando così vita a contrasti eterei e fluidi.
