Sigtenhorst Meyer's style of composing was somewhere in-between late romanticism, impressionism, exoticism and modernism. His inspiration was often Eastern Asian imagery and Western religiosity.

Many of his works from his Conservatory period he destroyed. In 1916 he met Dutch poet/singer Rient van Santen (1882-1943) with whom he developed a close friendship. Between 1916 and 1927 they organized and performed together many recitals and concerts.

In 1923 van Santen en van den Sigtenhorst Meyer traveled to Dutch East Indies, which caused an increase of oriental influences in his works. He also developed himself into a scholar of Renaissance music with the focus on Johan Pietersz. Sweelinck.

Van den Sigtenhorst Meyer served for many years at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague as a piano and composition teacher.
