One Minute Symphony
Gijs van der Heijden
"I found out I was secretly writing Loony Tunes music."
- Gijs van der Heijden
Our meeting with composition student Gijs van der Heijden took place at the beautiful Amare. He has written a One Minute Symphony inspired by music by Carl W. Stalling, the composer of the Looney Tunes. If you listen carefully, it also hides some quotes from Johannes Brahms' Third Symphony, and who knows, you might even hear the soundtrack of Jurrasic Park in his piece.
