[Life- edit ]
Badings was born on Java in the former Dutch East Indies. In 1915 he came as pointed to Netherlands, where he was placed under strict tutelage. He attended primary and secondary school in Gorinchem and took violin lessons at Ch. La Rosiere. At age 12 he already wrote a violin sonata. The intelligent and talented Badings was also gifted in the field of painting, sculpture, poetry and mathematics. He studied mining at theTechnical University in Delft, where he worked for several years as a research assistant in the historical geology and paleontology , before devoting himself entirely to music.

After graduating as an engineer, he spent some time studying composition with William Piper . In 1934 he became professor of composition at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and at the Rotterdam Conservatory .Between 1941 and 1945 he was director of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, after the occupiers forced departure of Sem Dresden . Moreover Badings member of the Dutch Culture Council . That earned him a short time a disqualification after the Second World War, which was repealed in 1947.

He was from 1954 teacher of composition at the International Organ Academy in Haarlem . In 1961 he was appointed lecturer in acoustics at the then University at Utrecht .

He was also in 1962 and 1963 visiting professor at the University of Adelaide , Australia, and the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . He was from 1962 to 1972 professor of composition at theHochschule für Musik und Stuttgart in Stuttgart , Germany . Badings held many lectures, participated in juries and wrote essays .

Badings died at the age of eighty.

Work [ edit ]
Badings first success as a composer dates from September 27, 1931, when his first cello concert was performed in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam by Henk van Wezel with the Concertgebouw Orchestra under the direction of Eduard van Beinum . The same orchestra also performed there already in 1930 his first symphony under Louis Marie George Arntzenius (1899-1964). This was followed by the execution of his 2nd symphony and in 1933 his violin sonata during a music festival in Prague . Then his work frequently appeared on the program symphony orchestras and as more and more pieces were known internationally. The post-war period was characterized by an intensive introduction to electronic music . From 1956 to 1963 he worked in it along with pioneers like Dick Raaijmakers and Tom Dissevelt in the Philips Research Laboratories . Work Badings from that time was released on Popular Electronics. Early Dutch electronic music from Philips Research Laboratories, 1956-1963 .

Badings oeuvre ranges from opera (Orestes) to electronic music (Cain and Abel) and film music to symphony . Not only did he write symphonic and vocal music, but also pieces for chamber music and works for wind band.

The works of Badings carry a very personal style. They rank in three periods.

First period [ edit ]
The first period to about 1940. Badings' compositions are characterized in that period by gloom, long wide lilting melodic lines, dark orchestral color and the frequent use of the octotoniek (the music and the scale that uses display alternately a whole and a half-tone are situated away from each other). Already in these first pieces proved its innovativeness. This octotonic tone sequence was first studied systematically by Badings and applied. From these early compositions show clear the contrapuntal style, and this, especially because of the very complex canonical forms of the thematic development.

Second period [ edit ]
The second period started around 1940. Badings' music shows a preference for lighter harmonious colors, more "playable" melodic structures and a more transparent orchestral texture. These characteristics are also in later works can still be found. As a second innovation technique he applied overtone series increasing. The found opportunities to rely on suggestion and the corrective capacity of the human ear, by making use of the 8th to the 15th top or natural tone. This creates the impression that a piece of music in the pure or natural mood is written.

Third period [ edit ]
Although he performed since 1952 pioneered the development of electronic music, he composed more and more for traditional performances and occupations. The third option was to renew the 31-tone system .Uses smaller show than the small secunde . An octave is then divided into 31 tones. Badings built a siren who was 31-note. He could be thinking in this area only develop properly when Adriaan Fokker Haarlem a 31-tone organ, called the Fokker-organ, had built.

Badings had already done pioneering work in the field of electronic sound sources. He thereby enabled the computer. That way, there were new insights regarding the relationship between pace and tone duration.This electronic phenomenon can not only adapt to any traditional instrumental timbre types, but can also enrich the music.

Even Badings was a seeker of renewal, yet his style was characterized by a penchant for classic design: melody, harmony and rhythm remain recognizable and respected as such.

As César Franck Badings also makes frequent use of the germ cell process. Themes and theme motifs are derived from a single motif. It is worth mentioning also that Henk Badings was not a composer-in-the-piano, but all heard with the inner ear. All his works are born one by one out of inspiration. The bulk of his work is not synonymous with levity.

Awards [ edit ]
Numerous compositions Badings were awarded national and international awards. In 1949 he became an honorary member of the Flemish Academy of Sciences, Arts and Fine Arts in Brussels. In 1967 he was awarded the Johan Wagenaar Prize and in 1972 with the Sweelinck Price . In 1965 he became an honorary citizen of New Martinsville in West Virginia, and also awarded the Medal Arts-Sciences-Lettres from theFrench Academy . In 1984 he was during the Blazers Festival at the Sports Hall Boshoven on December 9, 1984 Weert and the world premiere of his work Figures sonores by the Royal Harmony of Thorn led by Jan Cober awarded the Price Dutch Band .
