Programme notes *: "Excelsior" is a one-movement fantasia, consisting of contrasting themes. The first theme (Excelsior) is charactericed by angular figures moving in an upward direction. The second theme is playful and humorous in nature. Rob Goorhuis, who was born and bred in Amsterdam, may even have utiliced memories of his own juvenile pranks in this second theme. The third theme, which is introduced by the cor anglais is melancholy and melodious. The elements mentioned above interchange in a thoroughly captivating manner, which ultimately results in an attractive composition fully capable of adding lustre to an anniversary.
