Netherlands RADIO 4 broadcast
The Netherlands’ Radio 4 has posted my recital for the 2013 Musica Sacra Festival in Maastricht here.
The idea of this recital, ”Hoe het wereldlijke sacraal werd” (the Secular Made Sacred) explored the use of counterpoint and variation-form throughout northern European composers of the 17th century, along with a special nod to contemporary with the remarkable two-part inventions of British composer Rob Keeley (b. 1960).
The programme for the 22nd of September 2013 was as follows:
Will yow walk ye woods so wilde – William Byrd
Peascodd Time – Orlando Gibbons
Watkins Ale – Anonymous, ca. 1600
**
Onder een linde groen – Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck
Fantasia on a theme by Sweelinck — John Bull
Also gehts, also stehts (1609) – Samuel Scheidt
Chorale-variations on Christus der ist mein Leben – Johann Pachelbel
****
Chorale-variations on Herzlich tut mich verlangen – Pachelbel
2 inventions (2006) – Rob Keeley
Chorale-variations on O Gott du Frommer Gott, BWV 767 – J.S. Bach
The instrument used a double-manual copy of the 1624 ”Colmar” Ruckers, lent kindly by its generous owner, harpsichordist Jacques Ogg.
