| Paul Verhoeven was going to turn Jan Wolkers novel Turkish Delight into a film. At the time filmproducer Rob Houwer and Wolkers insisted on the involvement of composer William Breuker with the scoring process of the movie.Back in those days Breuker hadn't done any filmscoring yet.Neither had van Otterloo, who was asked by Verhoeven to score his film, totally disagreeing with the writer and producer choice. It took the composer about 2 weeks to get the score done, with some help of Louis van Dijk, who composed the variation on 'That Foggy Red Beast' and did some piano work.Van Otterloo composed a truly amazing and unforgettable Main theme.Without even blinking an eye it seems, he combines classical elements with jazzy elements.The power of the scores lies for a great deal in the performing elements, not forgetting his composing work is still enormously complex.The people utilised by Rogier all knew their tasks and performed it with an immense enthousiasm.The real appreciaction goes out to Toots Tielemand, who provided powerfull harmonica solos. Another switch, not likely to forget, is the wordless voice of a choir, leaded by Letty de Jong.She also sung on Van Otterloo score for 'Help, de Dokter Verzuipt (Help, the Doctor is Drowning).The theme is very easy to whistling and probably one of the most recognizable Dutch filmscore themes of all times. The composer can handle the mood needed for the film and does a great job in coverting the musical mood to any situation.Spannend out melodies turning into a theme has become known as his trademark on this one.He captures the realationship between Rutger Hauer and Monique van der Ven in every mood, full of amazing rich sounds variations. |

Another incredible thing which happened was that some of a filmcomposer work gets even so populair that it appears in the Pop hitlists. The same thing happened to Van Otterloo's score. And in how many cases a single gets released and gets sold a lot? Not very often but Van Otterloo did it with the release of a promotional single.See the photo below. |
