Composer
Jan Koetsier (1911-2006)
Erich Wolfgang Korngold (May 29, 1897 – November 29, 1957) was an Austro-Hungarian film and romantic music composer.[1] While his compositional style was considered well out of vogue at the time he died, his music has more recently undergone a reevaluation and a gradual reawakening of interest.[2] Along with such composers as Max Steiner and Alfred Newman, he is considered one of the founders of film music.
Jan Koetsier (14 August 1911 in Amsterdam – 28 April 2006 in Munich) was a Dutch composer and conductor.
In 1950, Koetsier became the first Kapellmeister of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. As a composer, he wrote chamber music, and orchestral and choral works, as well as the opera Frans Hals. From 1966 to 1976, he taught conducting at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München.
A well-known example of his composition is Brass Symphony from 1979, which is divided into three movements and arranged for a brass dectet.
In 1993, the Jan Koetsier Foundation was established by an endowment from the composer. One of the main responsibilities of the Foundation, which has been based at the Hochschule since 1999, is the organization of the biennial International Jan Koetsier Competition[dead link].
