Jan van Vlijmen - Sextet

Jan van Vlijmen (1935-2004) Sextet : for string sextet (2000; rev. 2003) Janneke van der Meer, violin Wim de Jong, violin Henk Guittart, viola Jan Erik van Regteren Altena, viola Viola de Hoog, cello Michael Müller, cello dedicated to György en Martá Kurtág Jan van Vlijmen was a Dutch composer. He studied the piano, the organ, and, with van Baaren, composition at the Utrecht Conservatory. He was then director of the Amersfoort Music School (1961-1965) and lecturer in theory at the Utrecht Conservatory (1965-1967). In 1967 he became deputy director of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, succeeding van Baaren as director three years later, a position he held until 1985; he also continued to teach composition. In 1984 he was appointed director of the Nederlandse Opera, which he left, following disagreements over government funding policy, in 1987. From 1990 to 1997 he was director of the Holland Festival. During the 1960s van Vlijmen drew attention for his involvement in the turbulent debate about the Dutch cultural establishment. He collaborated on the opera Reconstructie with Louis Andriessen, Schat, Misha Mengelberg and Reinbert de Leeuw (with whom he also later worked on his second opera, Axel). Van Vlijmen's own development as a composer came initially from the serialism of the Second Viennese School, and soon after from postwar developments, as exemplified in particular by Boulez's Structures and Stockhausen's Carré and Gruppen, whose concept of groups is reflected in his Gruppi of 1962. However, van Vlijmen was never a slavish follower of serial thought, and already by the Serenata II for flute and four instrumental groups (1964) classic pointillist textures had given way to almost uninterrupted ebb-and-flow continuity. This is evident too in the Sonata for piano and three instrumental groups (1966), which further exhibits an explicit harmonic rhythm, as essential as the derivation procedures applied to the opening material in the piece.
