String Quartet No.1, 'Versailles', was composed in 1990, commissioned by the Dutch Fonds voor de Scheppende Toonkunst. Versailles was inspired by 17th century French landscape gardening. The gardens of the Palais de Versailles were a symbol of the centralized power. A severe symmetric garden arrangement formed the basis for a wealth of ornamentation which was achieved by subjecting all plants to rigorous trimming. Nature was subordinated to art. A composer tries to arrange his tones just as the landscape architect does his plants, statues and fountains.The components of symmetry and repetition have a determining factor on the form of the baroque garden.In “Versailles”, ter Veldhuis applied these techniques to the musical composition. The outcome is a neo-baroque divertimento for string quartet.
String Quartet No.2, “Postnuclear Winterscenario”
The original compositon for piano, called Postnuclear Winterscenario opus 49 was written on January 23 1991, shortly after the Gulf War broke out.In those days Ter Veldhuis felt speechless and unable to compose.In the media,meteorologists predicted apocalyptical consequences for the climate and the environment, similar to the effects of a nuclear war.They called it a postnuclear winterscenario .Ter Veldhuis decided to express his speechlessness in music.In only a few hours time the piece was written.It is probably the simpliest music he ever wrote.All musical material was reduced to a minimum.The 'melody' consists of one single note,that is repeated all the time.The harmonic accompaniment is diatonic and consists of only four different notes in altered positions and changing order, played one by one in slow pulse,like a stretched out arpeggio. There are no real rhythmical, melodical or harmonical developments in Postnuclear Winterscenario. The main way of expression is in the repetition and the delivery.Pianist Kees Wieringa performed the piece worldwide, even in Irak, on the ruins of Babylon.Ter Veldhuis regards his ëPostnuclearías a centerpiece and has already written several other íscenariosí, all based on the first one.
String Quartet No.3,'There must be some way out of here'
The subtitle ' There must be some way out of here' is a quotation from 'All along the watchtower' by Bob Dylan. A song that particulary embodies the philosophy of life as expressed by the rock generation from which Ter Veldhuis stems.
