Badings, Henk

Henk Badings was a Dutch composer.
Badings used unusual musical scales and harmonies (e.g., the octatonic scale); he also used the harmonic series scale from the eighth to the fifteenth overtone. A prolific artist, he had produced over a thousand pieces at the time of his death.
His works include fourteen symphonies, two string quartets, several concertos, chamber music, and incidental music.
Recently, interest in Badings’ music has grown; the German label CPO have committed themselves to recording Badings’ entire orchestral oeuvre, and a Badings Festival was held in Rotterdam in October 2007.
