De Aankomst is the most vital and the only straight-forward optimistic composition in the series of pieces in which connections were made in advance and on purpose: De Aankomst ('The Arrival' - 1993), De Overtocht ('The Passage' - 1992), Het Oponthoud ('The Delay' - 1993) en Kom, over de zeeën ('Come, over the seas - 1994). Everything in this work comes forth from harmony, which explains the more tonal structure; melodic details play an inferior role other than sometimes as disguissed chord refractions.
