Six lyrical pieces for piano

"I gazed... and gazed... but little thought what wealth the show to me had brought." William Wordsworth 'Daffodils' Prelude - Song for Cressida - Ricercar - Eglogue - Design - Lullaby Julius Hijman's life centered around contemporary and Dutch music. Touring internationally, he presented the works of Dutch composers, and in the Netherlands he introduced new music from abroad. His own compositions were not always appreciated by his peers. He fled into exile in 1939 to America and was forgotten in his native country. The majority of his extensive oeuvre remains unpublished, awaiting performance. by Carine Alders location of manuscript: Library collection Netherlands Music Institute, The Hague
