“I started with Sweelinck and then the next composer that came to mind was a living Dutch composer Ad Wammes. I read his bio and was surprised that he has composed music for five Sesame Street albums. His style is very eclectic. He has a lot of influences as with a of of modern musicians. He’s played keyboarda in a Dutch rock band but also writes organ pieces that are classically styled, but also have pieces of jazz in them. I won’t be playing rubber ducky tho”
