    Remember being at school and the prettiest girl in my year at school learnt to play this on the recorder. She was playing this in the playground on a lovely warm and sunny summers day. I ended up marrying her, she died 4 years ago from Cancer. I still miss her even today.

      I was born in 1970 and obviously don't remember Van Der Valk until a decade later, when at senior school I learnt the Eye Level tune. Key of Eb major- I have perfect pitch and a very good memory for tunes!

    I drove a truck all over Europe for eight years,sweden to Portugal. The best weekends i had were in
    Amsterdam. I used to deliver to a company in Weesp. Amsterdam centraal was the second stop.
    Ive stayed in Amsterdam on a Thursday night in the truck,got home and back on Saturday from
    Manchester airport. The theme from Van der Valk in my head all the time.
    A brilliant piece of composing that was spot on for thr series.
    The other thing are the Hollanders,what a fantastic race, and a great sense of humour.
    A few years ago Jack Tromby the composer of the theme appeared on Bargain Hunt
    from Oswestry showground. The theme is on my favorite playlist.

    First time I heard this song it was on my birthday in December, 1973. I thought it was a new Christmas song and I was hooked on it from the start. I have, of course, learned that it is to a TV show out of England, and I enjoy the song now as I did then.

    Theme by Dutch composer Jan Stoeckart (aka Bromley or Julius Steffaro), It is based on an old Dutch song. Stoeckart also wrote famous Theme of Floris. Director Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct) and Rutger Hauer (Blade runner) started their career with Floris.

      Along with a number of 1950s, 60s and 70s shows, VdV is periodically repeated on Talking Pictures TV, a UK Freeview channel. Not all regions seem to receive it.
      I imagine it must be a comfort for people of a certain age to be able to relive the glory days of two or three national channels - and maybe to fondly remember time spent with departed friends and family, huddled together around the box as we used to do before giant screens, tellies in every room and on-demand streaming.

    Quite possibly the best music ever written. I heard it a few times in the early 70s and recently again and it seems to be hardwired in my head. Billions of years from now as the cosmos collapses into one singularity these notes will surely still be detectable as a faint background echo.

  • @c.williams99
    @c.williams99 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The opening credits song from Van Der Valk use the elements of timbre, dynamics and articulation to effectively portray both the picturesque nature of Amsterdam and the themes of "drugs, sex and murder". The melody is introduced to the audience with the use of high woodwind instruments backed by the low brass playing softly behind them. The lively and light melody is representative of the setting of Amsterdam, a very lively and beautiful city. The low brass is also used to represent the darker parts of the beautiful city, the themes of criminal activities rampant throughout the show. This low brass builds throughout the piece before, in the final section, it carries the melody to a finish on the dominant of the scale at 1:09. The transition from the high woodwinds at the beginning through the upper brass at 0:33 then to the low brass at 0:54 reflect the disparity between the picturesque setting of Amsterdam and the criminal lowlife of the city.
    This contrast between the setting and the events is also accentuated by use of dynamics, timre and articulation that progressively get harsher throughout the piece. The piece begins at a mf dynamic in the woodwind section. This gradually crescendos over time as the upper brass and eventually the lower brass come in and carry the melody. These instruments while having harsher accented, detached articulation sounds are also played in much more aggressive manners with louder dynamics and move aggressive tonguing used to accentuate this. This is backed by the percussion which uses a timpani to bring out these darker lower notes towards the end but only uses bells at the start. The combined and seamless use of timbre, dynamics and articulation in opening credits adeptly portray the beautiful and serene setting of Amsterdam and the darker, criminal themes of Van Der Valk.

    Actually, the car would be a Ford Taunus, seeing as to how the Cortina name was only used for the UK when Ford merged its European offerings from the late 1960s onwards.

    Once you've seen Alfred Hitchcock's "Frenzy" it's hard to get that image of Barry Forster out of your head! Still, he did a good job in this and in 1969's "The Battle of Britain".

      Oh my God yes! I haven't seen Van Der Valk yet - was just reading about the remake and stumbled on this clip, so I wasn't sure who Foster was. Now that I see him up close I realize he was that unbelievably creepy killer from Frenzy. It will be very hard to get that out of my head and see him as another character.
