Until 1940 he lived in Rotterdam, where most of his scores were destroyed during the bombing by the Germans in May of that year.

From 1964 to 1977 he taught theory of contemporary music at the University of Utrecht. The result of his teaching is to be found in many studies in the field of music theory and audiology. He was also a talented writer and painter, continuing to publish poetry in literary magazines until well into the 1950s. From 1945--1946 he wrote on music and art for the Groene Amsterdammer. Escher's music is lyrical, expressive and elegiac, with a great propulsive force, more French then German in its orientation (the main influences being Ravel, Debussy and Mahler). It is always basically tonal, and mostly cast in a strictly contrapuntal frame with chains of variations. Everything he wrote can be clearly discerned by the ear. In 1938 he wrote: 'The miracles of a piece of music will never be revealed, unless in a natural way, through sounding and hearing. That means sounding well and hearing well. The latter condition is a priori impossible if the former one cannot be fulfilled'. (Toscanini en Debussy). Apart from this technical aspect of composing, Escher discerned a psychic one: 'The technique of a composer is intimately related to his spiritual and intellectual self, his psyche'. This can be seen in his war compositions, such as Musique pour l'esprit en deuil, the Sonate concertante (1943) for cello and piano, Arcana (1944) for piano (originally called Arcana Musae Dona), and the first two movements of the Sonata for cello solo (1945; the third movement was completed in 1948). Each of these compositions is in a way an impressive 'document humain'. The works written immediately after 1945 do not reflect the war in the same way, but Escher's longing for peace is reflected in the 'Arcadian' choral works such as Songs of Love and Eternity (1955) and Ciel, air et vents (1957). As a theorist, Escher analysed many 20th-century scores from Debussy to Boulez, explaining the latter on the basis of Escher's own analysis of the former's music. As a composer, however, he preferred to remain true to the music of Debussy and Ravel without denying the technical implications of the music of the serialists, as in his Second Symphony (1958, revised in 1980), Wind Quintet (1967) and Monologue for flute solo (1969). In the early sixties Escher tried to extend his technique towards electronic music and serialism, but after several crises he was unable to find a technique which would allow him at the same time to remain true to his psyche. The results of this search are nevertheless interesting, and the brilliant Wind Quintet (1967) and Summer Rites at Noon for two orchestras (1971) are examples of Escher's technical and emotional powers. The sound of the Wind Quintet is dominated by the timbres of alto flute, oboe d'amore and bass clarinet. Only at the end is the alto flute replaced by a normal flute for a brilliant and exciting 'lark solo'. Here Escher combines Debussian intervallic manipulations with Boulezian structural formulae. Kernels of intervals grow into motifs and melodies through rhythmical development. The main structure consists of three movements (A1--B--A2), which are linked by two short bridges (Z1 and Z2). Each movement consists again of three segments (a--x--a), which results in six 'a' segments accelerating from Largo to Prestissimo, while at the same time the 'x' segments slow down from Moderato to Largo. The Prestissimo combines the flute's 'lark solo' with the other instruments playing Largo underneath. Escher received several prizes for his compositions, including the van der Leeuw Prize (1959) for Le tombeau de Ravel, the Visser-Neerlandia Prize (1961 and 1968) for Nostalgies and the Wind Quintet, the Willem Pijper prize (1966) for the Sonata concertante for cello and piano and the Johan Wagenaar prize for his total output.

Ravel’s career as a student at the Paris Conservatoire was a chequered one, culminating in his notorious failure to win the Prix de Rome in 1905. But his teacher Gabriel Fauré, who became the Conservatoire’s director that year, to some extent made up for this in the years following by inviting him to provide test pieces and sit on various juries. His Prélude, for the ladies’ sight-reading test in 1913, takes a six-note motif from the third of his Mallarmé songs and presents it in modal attire. The winner of the whole competition was Jeanne Leleu who, as one of the pianists who had premiered Ma mère l’oye three years earlier, might be thought to have had an unfair advantage. Ravel was impressed by her performance of this Prélude too, and dedicated it to her. From notes by Roger Nichols, 2011 Discord server: (http•••) #Ravel #RavelPrelude #Embers #BeMusical
