The Ruysdael Quartet invited 25 composers to create works in a broad range of styles, from minimalism to jazz and 17th-century influences, often inspired by the painter Ruysdael, but also exploring themes of space and stars.
The Ruysdael Quartet commissioned 25 composers to write a new piece as part of a project that showcases a broad range of Dutch composition at the beginning of the 21st century. The composers were given complete freedom in style and theme. But how do you approach such a carte blanche? How do you express your creative vision in just a few minutes of music? It's remarkable that many composers chose to draw inspiration from the painter Ruysdael, yet themes of space and stars also frequently emerge. The pieces range from lyrical, minimal music, 17th-century influences, microtonality, jazz, and world music. It's a diverse and colorful selection of compositions.
