Additional info/contents	Variations on a Chord was composed on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Dutch Brass Band Championships celebrated in 1990. The piece is the immediate sequel to Contrasten, a piece which was composed in 1986, and which is performed all over the world. Not only was the final chord of this previous work used as a starting point for the new composition, but Variations on a Chord is also the first concert piece for brass band composed by Jan de Haan since then. The several variations are based on a solemn theme. The so-called minor-major seventh chord is easily detectable. The structure of the piece in such that the lyrical theme is preceded by a majestic introduction, and is followed by eight variations each strongly contrasting in character. The piece finishes with a short but extremely spectacular coda.
