"Melancholie in beweging" Spring concert Toonkunstkoor
Saturday 12 April
"Melancholie in beweging" (Melancholy in Movement) Spring concert. Koninklijk Toonkunstkoor Concordia (Royal Music Choir) conducted by Tjalling Wijnstra
The varied programme consists of two modern choral works and an instrumental intermezzo.
Eternal Light - Howard Goodall
Intermezzo - Preludio - Villa Lobos
Misatango - Martín Palmeri
Eternal Light is a contemporary requiem in which peace, comfort and lightness play a major role. Goodall uses, in addition to old Latin texts, English poetry to shed new light on the age-old requiem concept.
The result is a beautiful requiem for the living, a comfort for those who remain behind.
Misatango by Palmeri has the form of a mass in Latin. The music is a combination of two styles: the tango and choral music. The accordion plays a prominent role in the expressive instrumental passages.
This compelling music shows how melancholy and movement come together in harmony and passion!
