Discover the unique sounds of the Fokker organ. The programme features various works, each highlighting a different side of the repertoire of this remarkable 31-tone organ. The composition by Henk Badings is one of the very first works ever written for the instrument, in which the strange yet largely harmonious sounds run counter to the prevailing modernist style of the 1950s. The work by Danny de Graan was the first piece composed for the Fokker organ after its renovation in 2009, when the instrument became the first organ in the Netherlands to be fully computer-controlled. This short but powerful composition is abstract yet full of humour and is performed entirely via laptop. The subsequent anonymous work from the Renaissance will open your ears to how revolutionary music could sound more than 450 years ago. It is followed by the one-minute piece from 1957 by Hans Kox, featuring gliding melodies. Fabio Costa, by contrast, focuses on spectral sounds, in which chords are based on overtones (natural tones). These can be rendered particularly well using the microtones (in this case, fifth-tones) that the 31-tone organ possesses. In the striking, circus-like work by Felix Kubin, one can hear just how virtuously the instrument can be controlled by computer. So come and listen — and experience the Fokker organ!
