In spite of his numerous concerts
and his busy teaching career, Marinus de Jong
(b. Oosterhout, Holland 1891 d. Ekeren, Belgium 1984)
was a prolific composer in numerous genres. He wrote operas, oratorios,
symphonies, symphonic poems, concertos, chamber music, works for piano,
songs and religious music. All his life de Jong was deeply influenced
by Gregorian chant, the lyrical Sonata for Violin & Piano and the
Third Piano Sonata clearly show this.
