Matthijs Vermeulen - Symphony No. 3 "Thrène et Péan" (1921-22)

Matthijs Vermeulen (born Matheas Christianus Franciscus van der Meulen) (8 February 1888 – 26 July 1967), was a Dutch composer and music journalist. Symphony No. 3 "Thrène et Péan" (1921-1922) Residentie Orchestra The Hague conducted by Ferdinand Leitner Vermeulen started his Third Symphony on 26 March 1921 in his little composing house in the woods of Hollandsche Rading and completed it on 9 September 1922 in La Celle-St. Cloud. The title is derived from classical Greek concepts. Thrène (threnos) means lament and péan (paian) war song or song of victory. In the slow movements of his composition Vermeulen had intended "to sing to love's transcience"; the fast movement is meant as a "song of joy to sing in love's presence". Vermeulen added in an explanatory note: "The same desire, or the same happiness, in multiple intonations, can be in tune with each other." The work has a completely different form to the five movement Second Symphony. Due to the prevalence of a Lento motion, darker instrumentation and the presence of bigger, longer drawn-out phrasing for built up climaxes, the Third Symphony has a much more dramatic undercurrent. It consists of an introduction and three movements (A – B – A': slow – fast – slow) continuous without a break, which form a tight group, thanks to the return of thematic material.
