This “Grand Overture” was commissioned by the “Nagano Community Band” - Japan- on occasion of its jubilee in 1992 and is dedicated to the band’s conductor, Ikuo Inagaki.The work is based upon three main themes, each symbolising a certain theme. The first part is characterized by its bright themes played mainly by the brass, accompanied by the woodwinds and festive percussion. This part symbolizes the jubilee which is the origin of the composition. This is followed by a bouncing allegro, in which each register of the band displays brilliant techniques. Especially the woodwinds come to the fore! This movement depicts the industriousness and enthousiasm shown by the members of the“Nagano Community Band” in the carrying out of their hobby. A third, main theme, is choral-like in character and is displayed both in the (soft) brass as well as in the warm medium register of the reeds. Here, nature’s beaty in and around the city of Nagano is musically celebrated. Following a “chamber-music episode” (featuring the flute, oboe, clarinet, alto-saxophone and horn) the initial allegro re-occurs, weaving its way towards a grandiose finale, in which the two previous themes are once again apparent. Due to its very colourful scoring and the enormous diversity of musical thoughts and ideas, this composition is a fascinating and memorable piece, worthy a jubilee overture!

Olympica is gebaseerd op drie hoofdthema’s. Het eerste thema wordt gekenmerkt door een stralende thematiek in het koper, omspeeld door het hout en feestelijk slagwerk. Dan volgt een pittig en virtuoos allegro, waarin met namede houtblazers uitgebreid aan bod komen. Het derde thema is koraalmatig van karakter. Na een kamermuziekpassage komt het allegro terug, dat uitmondt in een grootse finale. De kleurrijke instrumentatie en veelzijdigheid van dezecompositie maken een sprankelend optreden mogelijk.

Die olympischen Winterspiele 1998, die nach 26 Jahren wieder einmal in Japan stattfanden, sind unvergessen: Mit 2302 Teilnehmer war eine Rekordteilnehmerzahl erreicht und die deutschen Sportler kehrten mit einer Rekordanzahl von 29 Medaillen nach Hause. Das Blasorchester der Austragungsstadt Nagano gab im Hinblick auf dieses groĂźe Ereignis Olympica in Auftrag - ein farbig instrumentiertes Werk mit abwechslungsreichen musikalischen Ideen, das fasziniert!

En 1998, vingt-six ans après Sapporo, les Jeux Olympiques d'hiver firent leur retour au Japon. Nagano vivait et vibrait au rythme des exploits sportifs. Avec un chiffre record de 2304 athlètes venant de 72 nations, le dernier rendez-vous planĂ©taire olympique du XXe siècle fut un succès. Pour cĂ©lĂ©brer cet Ă©vĂ©nement l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de la ville de Nagano passe commande Jan Van der Roost. Le rĂ©sultat est prestigieux. Ce sera Olympica : une œuvre fascinante aux multiples couleurs.
