Program Notes
Film music is usually written to match the action of each scene. In Jacob de Haan’s piece La Storia, however, there are no scenes and no plot, yet the composer supplies us with music full of action and suspense. The performers and audience are left to create their own storyline to fit the music.
Jacob de Haan has dedicated La Storia to one of the most famous composers of film music -- the Italian Ennio Morricone.
