Malcolm Kemp Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Does anyone know how to get hold of copies of organ music by the Dutch composer Jan Mulder, please? Contacts with the publishers/stockists in Holland produce no results even when approached by bona fide music trade firms in the UK.

Malcolm Having spent the best part of 9 months immersed (possibly drowning?) in Dutch organ music, I found the RCO library to be most helpful.

Malcolm Kemp Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Brilliant idea; many thanks. Unfortuntely the RCO Library only has one Mulder item and that is a different person. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Klaas Jan Mulder sadly died on the 1st of November this year, he was 78. His Dutch Wiki entry might help in finding scores http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaas_Jan_Mulder but I would advise you always enter the christian name 'Klass' when you search. He always performed under his full name. N.B. We have at least one Dutch member on this forum, plus our friend Bazuin who works in Holland. Either may well be able to suggest a supply house for scores, always assuming that these were ever available. I say that because some of KJM's recorded compositions were more improvisations than anything else. My copy of Henderson gives two publishers for his pieces: J.C.Willemsen, Amsbachtsweg 42, 1271 AM Huizen, The Netherlands and Joh. de Heer, Rozenlann 113, Postbus 3089, 3003 AB Rotterdam, The Netherlands Hope this helps.

Malcolm Kemp Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks, Cynic. I was wondering only a couple of hours ago whether you had moved to anothet planet as we don't seem to have heard much from you recently. Meanwhile (see my posting on "Lest we forget" the monsoon season continues in Brighton and I am looking for a forum where I can get advice on building an ark (64ft, of course). I've not seen rain like this for years. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidh Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Try "The Duke" - Den Hertog! http://www.hertog.nl/TradePoint/CategoryBa...goryName=Muziek where you will find some scores and some CDs for J K Mulder. I think that an earlier contributor who advised searching on "Klass" probably intended to write "Klaas". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen rain like this for years. As a Brightonian you will know the rumour that St Bartholomews in Ann Street was built to the dimensions of the ark, so take that as a model.

Malcolm Kemp Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Indeed, I learned with George Austin on that organ in the 1960s and have helped with the music there in more recent times. Presumably Noah didn't have the heating bills they now have although they do have the advantage of having a treasurer who is also the D-of-M.

andyorgan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 ...one Mulder item and that is a different person... ...the one from the X files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Kemp Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think I have been confusing the issue in that there appear to have been two Mulders - K J and J - with J probably being the son of KJ. The item I am partcularly interested in is "4 improbisations" by J Mulder. One of those pieces is on a fascinating you-tube clip. That is in the Hartog on-line catalogue but is currently unavailable. I do have an unfortunate habit of wanting to get hold of very obscure music. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidh Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Have you tried http://www.internezzo-muziek.nl/bladmuziek.html or http://www.wimzwart.nl/ They both have it in their catalogues, but of course that is no guarantee that they actually have it in stock.

bazuin Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Klaas Jan Mulder has indeed just passed away. He was a highly active concert artist in the Netherlands, especially popular among the orthodox protestant community. He was, it has to be said, much better than most in that world and certain recordings (including his last, made 2 years ago in the St Ouen in Rouen) received international acclaim. Jan Mulder is, as far as I am aware, not related to Klaas Jan Mulder. He is a 'popular' concert pianist, especially popular among the orthodox protestant community.... When he was younger, he played the organ seriously and made a few recordings, including one in St Ouen in Rouen..... It could be that he composed some organ music, but I guess its of the commercial, protestant, 'koraalbewerking' type. So, as you can see I failed to answer the question, but at least I cleared up the misunderstanding! Greetings Bazuin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanderman26 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Why not simply ask Jan himself at info@janmulder.us ? Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanderman26 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Jan Mulder is, as far as I am aware, not related to Klaas Jan Mulder. The late Klaas Jan was an uncle of Jan. Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
