As a composer, he was mainly known by his 'Wien Neerlands bloed door d'aderen vloeit' (1815), the semi-official Dutch hymn of the 19th century. He also wrote three symphonies, several symphonies concertantes and concertos, overtures, chamber music, violin and flute sonatas, and keyboard pieces as well as secular songs and the sacred cantata 'Zahlreiche weitere Gelegenheits' (1814).
