Unconventional song cycle unites classical and indie rock

What connects Mahler and The Beach Boys? Contemporary ensemble Stargaze and American band Dirty Projectors answer that question with Song of the Earth. This kaleidoscopic song cycle reflects on the cyclical nature of life and death. Composer and Dirty Projectors leader David Longstreth drew inspiration from Mahler’s classic Das Lied von der Erde and Brian Wilson’s ingenious Beach Boys songs.

Dirty Projectors’ unique blend of dazzling, unconventional guitar work and layered vocal harmonies has kept the band on the indie rock map for the past twenty years. They have collaborated with stars such as Solange, Björk, and David Byrne. Dirty Projectors is now teaming up with Stargaze, an ensemble that has previously wowed the Muziekgebouw with ground-breaking collaborations with musicians like Terry Riley, Mica Levi, and Lee Ranaldo.

Every year the May 4 committee organizes an impressive meeting in the Grote Kerk with stories, singing and music. After this, all attendees go in a long procession along the Boerenlaantje to the War Memorial, where the De Vecht music association plays moody music and, after the last speech, of course the Last Post. Then all those present lay flowers at the monument.

Als we de term “barokmuziek” horen, denken de meesten van ons meteen aan de verschillende hoven van Europa in de 17e en vroeg 18e eeuw, waar de muziek van Vivaldi of Bach voor koningen en edelen werd gespeeld.

Hoewel dit inderdaad een belangrijk facet van barokmuziek was, is het niet het enige: er was ook barokmuziek op een ander continent. Vanwege het kolonialisme had Europese muziek zich namelijk ook in Centraal- en Zuid-Amerika gevestigd, hoewel dit meestal niet aan bod komt in de muziekgeschiedenisboeken. De oude koloniale steden van Latijns-Amerika, zoals Mexico Stad, Bogotá, Lima, Santiago de Chile en Córdoba in het zuiden, waren bakens van de Latijns-Amerikaanse barokmuziek.

In dit concert laat Ensemble Suspirium u kennis maken met een selectie van Latijns-Amerikaanse muziek uit de tijd van de barok. Een deel hiervan is opgetekend in de Codex Trujillo. Zowel de Spaanse taal, als verschillende inheemse talen, komen voorbij en kerkmuziek wordt afgewisseld met een wereldlijk repertoire.

Ensemble Suspirium bestaat uit Iris Bouman (zang), MengHan Wu (barokviool), Gala Lozynska (barokcello), Punto Bawono (barokgitaar), Francesco Elgorni (klavecimbel) en Ramon Lormans (percussie).

TEMKO – Entropy

‘Who are we?’ Ten years ago, this simple question was the starting point of the trio TEMKO. Several musical worlds come together in the ensemble: contemporary composition, electronic sound design, improvisation, prog rock, ambient and microtonality. The trio is a textbook example of the interaction between composer and performer: on stage, the sketches composed by guitarist Aart Strootman invite percussionist Ramon Lormans and bassist and electronics specialist Fred Jacobsson to add their own ideas. In Entropy, listeners can relax and drift away on the trio’s hypnotic soundwaves, in which there is a great deal to discover.

Curious? Watch the video below!

In this program, Mallet Collective Sextet disregards the natural laws of time.

• Anne-Maartje Lemereis - Lumen* (2020/2021)

• Greg Saunier - 53 years and no religion and no telescope (2022, written for MC and Bach Festival Dordrecht 2022)*

In its music, Ensemble Suspirium explores the perspective of 17th and 18th century man on nature. Nature often functions as a refuge, but how? For whom? And why do we feel the urge to flee into nature, that last bit of inhospitable territory? What can we learn from this? We follow various first-person characters and their relationship with nature – wandering, searching, enlightening, complaining, carrying, questioning…

What does nature mean? That depends on who asks, who feels, who looks and who listens. Nature’s in the eye of the beholder.

This concert was made possible in part by the NORMA fund.
