Music by Dutch composers or performers.
Works by Henk Badings (Bandung, 1907 – Maarheeze, 1987).
In his younger days, Henk Badings completed a technical study in the Dutch city of Delft. This might explain his interest in the relationship between physical and psychological effects. Why does or doesn’t a successive tone match our expectation? But there are also tone systems that aim to avoid confirming to our expectations, such as the twelve-tone system and atonality. And such a thing doesn’t have to sound forced either. An example of this is film music. On this programme you will hear some examples of the music Badings wrote in these different systems.
