Theo Verbey (5 July 1959-13 October 2019) was a Dutch composer of contemporary classical music. His style – which has been described as energetic and appealing – is known for its elegance, rhythmically transparent approach and rich instrumentation. Theo’s orchestral, chamber and vocal works are favorites with listeners and musicians and never fail to touch the hearts of those who hear them. His commitment to teaching has also paved the way for new musicians, creating a legacy that will last for generations to come. 16’ 333 – 4431 – timp 2perc harp pf str (16.14.12.10.8) The world premiere of Theo Verbey’s Ariadne was an unforgettable experience.

Music and language, old and new, original and variations, form a continuous narrative. There are melodies that accompany us throughout our lives. They are twisted and turned, they can inspire, give hope or consolation. For Johann Sebastian Bach, it was a simple hymn: O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden.

'With this tenth release in its acclaimed Horizon SACD series, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra proves once again that contemporary music features prominently in its repertoire – even in times of crisis.' 7 Mar 2022 This musical exploration of how a melody has travelled though time includes music by Bach and Hassler. According to award-winning oboist Juri Vallentin, the project is "about the connection between literature and music, and the whole CD is centered around a baroque poem." 6 Jul 2021 Theo Verbey has been awarded a posthumous honorable mention for his final piece, Ariadne. The jury wrote about Verbey's work: "Ariadne symbolizes finding a way out of the maze, liberation and redemption. Although it is not a literal rendition of the Greek myth, the title lends this outstanding work written for the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra by Theo Verbey (who died in 2019) the aura of a swan song."Contemporary Classical Music Composer
