Cantus was written for Huub ten Hacken, when he was organist at the St. Jan cathedral in Den Bosch, The Netherlands.

The organ is accompanied by a tape, composed from electronic sounds as well as tones female voices. The piece is written in such a way that organ and tape together built a new sound in which it is hard to distinguish the organ and the tape. They blend completely, especially in a church with rich acoustic qualities.

Obviously the piece was dedicated to Huub ten Hacken.
