English-German-French-Dutch.

Rosa Gallica has been written to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. The work focuses largely on France as a lot of the fighting took place there. With the title Rosa Gallica (French rose), the composer wishes to emphasize the poetic image of the rose. The stem represents the years gone by such as those taken up by the First World War - and the thorns refer to the conflict and the pain that the victims had to endure. The rose itself forms the picture of beauty and symbolises opening up to a peaceful world. The piece depicts France from the end of the 19th century through to its role at the heart of the First World War and beyond. A spectacular anddramatic new work by Jacob de Haan.

Rosa Gallica is geschreven ter gelegenheid van de honderdjarige herdenking van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Het werk gaat met name over Frankrijk, waar een groot deel van de strijd zich afspeelde. Met de titel Rosa Gallica (Franse roos) wilde de componist de poëtische symboliek van de roos benadrukken. De stengel staat voor het verstrijken van de jaren, een dramatische periode die de Eerste Wereldoorlog besloeg. De doornen verwijzen naar de oorlogen, conflicten en de pijn van slachtoffers. De bloem van de roos vormt het beeld van schoonheid en symboliseert het openstaan voor een vreedzame wereld. De compositie presenteert het Frankrijk van eind 19e eeuw, geeftdaarna een belangrijke rol in het hart van de Eerste Wereldoorlog weer tot de jaren nadien. Een spectaculair en dramatisch nieuw werk van Jacob de Haan.

Rosa Gallica wurde zum Gedenken an den hundertsten Jahrestag des Ersten Weltkriegs geschrieben. In diesem Werk steht Frankreich im Mittelpunkt, da ein Großteil der Kämpfe dort stattfand. Mit dem Titel Rosa Gallica (Französische Rose“) möchte der Komponist das poetische Bild einer Rose hervorheben. Der Stamm steht für die vergangenen Jahre wie sie der Erste Weltkrieg mit sich brachte und die Dornen verweisen auf den Konflikt und den Schmerz, den die Opfer erdulden mussten. Die Rose selbst steht für die Schönheit und symbolisiert die Möglichkeit einer friedlichen Welt. Das Stück beschreibt Frankreich vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts über seine Rolle im Zentrumdes Ersten Weltkriegs bis in die Zeiten danach. Dies ist ein großartiges und dramatisches neues Werk von Jacob de Haan.

Rosa Gallica est une composition qui commémore le centenaire de la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle est axée principalement sur la France, où se sont déroulés de nombreux combats. En choisissant le titre Rosa Gallica (rose française), le compositeur souhaitait souligner l’image poétique d’une rose. La tige représente les années passées comme celles assombries par la guerre tandis que les épines symbolisent les conflits et la douleur que les victimes ont endurés. La rose elle-même exprime la beauté, ainsi que le concept d’un monde vivant en paix. Cette pièce dépeint la France la fin du XIXe siècle, puis son rôle au cœur de la Première Guerre mondiale et au-del .Une nouvelle œuvre dramatique et originale de Jacob de Haan.

Already a popular recital work for piccolo and piano, and winner of the 2009 International Piccolo Symposium biennial composition competition, Flash! is now available for solo piccolo with band accompaniment - fresh from the NFA premiere, featuring piccolo legend Walfrid Kujala. The East Coast premiere is scheduled for 11/18/10, featuring Boston Symphony piccoloist Linda Toote with the Boston University wind ensemble.
By 2008, Sonatine de Giverny was being performed so frequently that I decided to write another piccolo piece as soon as an opportunity arose. Since Giverny is a study in French style, I knew the new piece must be in my own authentic American voice. That summer, Giverny was performed six times at the NFA convention as a mandatory competition piece, and I returned from the August 2008 convention all charged up to write something different for piccolo. In September, Kate Prestia-Schaub wrote to tell me about the International Piccolo Symposium's new composer competition. She proposed that if I write a new piccolo/piano piece, she would record a demo for me to submit to the competition, and she would submit applications to perform it at the 2009 IPS convention and NFA convention. What amazing timing! I set out to compose a flashy showpiece with a jazzy snap, lots of idiomatic scales and arpeggios, and a scary middle section, and by mid-October FLASH! was complete. Kate followed suit and all 3 wishes came true - FLASH! won first prize in the IPS composer competition, and she performed it both there and at NFA. In the meantime many other piccoloists have added the work to their repertoire, Cynthia Ellis wrote an article about it for Flute Talk magazine, and Walfrid Kujala commissioned a band accompaniment to premiere at NFA in 2010. More recently, Sarah Jackson has commissioned an orchestra version, premiered at the 2014 NFA convention.
