A TRIBUTE TO WILLEM STRIETMAN Shortly after the death of Willem Frederik Strietman (1918-2001), his wife Antoinette Strietman-Schrijver established a personal fund under auspices of the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds. Entirely in the spirit of Willem Strietman, the fund has offered occasional support to activities in the music world. In 2012 Ms Strietman died quite suddenly, bringing to an abrupt end my conversations with her concerning her wish to issue a CD of her husband’s music. In consultation with the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, however, a way was sought to realise a posthumous tribute to Willem Strietman. Monies remaining in the Willem Strietman Fonds have also been used to this effect. With the assistance of the conductor Jan Stulen, who has directed many works by Willem Strietman, and Lourens Stuif-bergen, a former theory teacher at the Amsterdam Conservatory, a number of recordings were listened to in The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, resulting in the selection of two original works and two orchestrations for the CD A tribute to Willem Strietman.
