Finally serious "licht music" for woodwind bands - Maurice Hamers, professor in conducting Alle Articulation, phrasing and even improvisation are coverd withe Werner’s compositions - Jan Hollander, trumpet player Metropole Orkest, CEO of Artes7 “I think more orchestra’s should play this music or even better it should be teh standard” - Paul Oligschlager, Royal Navy Band, conductor


With my background in the classical orchestral world and my experience in the best jazz orchestra’s in Europe, I composed melodic music from the idiom of woodwind bands but with elements from jazz, pop and world such as (simple) improvisation, articulation and phrasing. Now, times are over that you have to choose between badly arranged pop songs, or bombastic sounding songs form musicals, for the “light” repertpoire of your orchestra. My compositions are mostly based on spiritual themes.


I would love to give a workshop about improvisation or the way how to play these compositions. I can be conductor, solist and /or conductor. I would be happy to honour your wishes and see what the possibilities are. : info@wernerjanssen.nl
