Minerva by Jan Van der Roost was composed on the commission of the German ?Musikverein Braunshausen? on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the orchestra. The composition first performed on September 17 1999 is not a street march but a concert march just like Mercury and Arsenal. The use and variation of different rhythmic patterns gives the first part of this march a distinctly dynamic character. Two main themes are presented in several instrumental combinations. The theme from the trio on the other hand is characterized by a broad melodic approach using large intervals. This theme wreathed by high woodwinds is heard one more time after a contrasting newpart but now in a somewhat slower tempo. The counterpoint in this part refers to the first part of the march. The brilliant ending suits a festive anniversary march!
