  • Let Me Be Your Guide: 21St Century Choir Music in Flanders
    Let me be your guide: 21st century choir music in Flanders Flanders has a rich tradition of choir music. But what about the 21st century? Meet the composers in this who's who. Alain De Ley Alain De Ley (° 1961) gained his first musical experience as a singer of the Antwerp Cathedral Choir, while he was still behind the school desks in the Sint-Jan Berchmans College in Antwerp. He got a taste for it and a few years later studied flute with Remy De Roeck and piano with Patrick De Hooghe, Freddy Van der Koelen, Hedwig Vanvaerenbergh and Urbain Boodts). In 1979 he continued his studies at the Royal Music Conservatory in Antwerp. Only later did he take private composition lessons with Alain Craens. Alain De Ley prefers to write music for choir and smaller ensembles. As the artistic director of the Flemish Radio Choir, he is familiar with the possibilities and limitations of a singing voice. Since 2003 Alain De Ley is composer in residence for Ensemble Polyfoon that premiered a great number of his compositions and recorded a CD dedicated to his music, conducted by Lieven Deroo He also received various commissions from choirs like Musa Horti and Amarylca, Kalliope and from the Flanders Festival. Alain De Ley’s music is mostly melodic, narrative, descriptive and reflective. Occasionally Alain De Ley combines the classical writing style with pop music. This is how the song Liquid Waltz was created in 2003 for choir, solo voice and pop group, sung by K’s Choice lead singer Sarah Bettens. He also regularly writes music for projects in which various art forms form a whole.

Photo courtesy of Spaarnestad Fotoarchief. Luigem (West Flanders), 28 September 1918. Photo by Antony / © SOFAM Belgium 2003. The Low Countries. Jaargang 11 11 Foreword ριστον μν δωρ - Water is best. (Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland. The small, stocky woman visiting the stricken province is Queen Wilhelmina. Without turning a hair she allows herself to be carried over the waters.

As in all previous competitions, this cultural manifestation is going to tone our town with a rich spectre of colourful human voices for four days. Singing, being one of the most natural forms of artistic expression, has been an inevitable part of cultural heritage of Zadar and its citizens. I am deeply convinced that the joy of singing is being increasingly meliorated through this biennial manifestation and that singing and music are more successfully promoted through all the activities around the Competition. I particularly hope that these efforts will reach the youth! The international character of the Competition exceptionally pleases me. Our singers have the opportunity to meet with singers from all around the world and exchange invaluable experiences, which create genuine, not just momentarily trendy virtual connections. The City of Zadar and Zadar Concert Office, the organiser of the manifestation, are delighted to raise those numerous possibilities of connecting, whose common denominator is music – an art that is woven into the fabric of this town.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

  • Arthur Meulemans (Aarschot, 19 Mai 1884 – Etterbeek, 29 Juni 1966)
    Arthur Meulemans (Aarschot, 19 Mai 1884 – Etterbeek, 29 Juni 1966) Konzert für Klavier und Orchester Nr. 1 (1941) Allegro Andante poco con moto Allegro con brio Jahrzehntelang spielte Arthur Meulemans im flämischen Musikleben eine entscheidende Rolle als Komponist, Dirigent und Pädagoge. Unmittelbar nach seinem Studium bei Edgar Tinel am Lemmensinstitut Mecheln bekam er dort eine Anstellung als Dozent für Harmonielehre. Von 1916 bis 1930 war er Direktor der Orgel- und Gesangsschule in der Provinz Limburg. Anschließend verzog er nach Brüssel, wo er Chef des Rund-funkorchesters wurde. In dieser Position dirigierte er zahlreiche neue belgische und internationale Werke. Unter dem Einfluss der täglichen Arbeit mit dem Orchester schrieb er eine eindrucksvolle Anzahl symphonischer Kompositionen. Meulemans hinterließ ein sehr umfangreiches Gesamtwerk von über hundert Orchesterwerken (darunter fünfzehn Symphonien und mehr als vierzig Konzertstücke), drei Opern (Adriaan Brouwer, Vikings und Egmont, die alle an der Königlichen flämischen Oper Antwerpen aufgeführt wurden), elf Messen, drei Tedeums, Oratorien, Kantaten, geistlicher und weltlicher Chormusik, Orchester- und Klavierliedern, Kammermusik, ferner Kompositionen für Klavier, Orgel und Glockenspiel. Einen besonderen Platz nehmen seine Freiluftspiele ein. Das bekannteste davon ist Sanguis Christi, eine eindrucksvolle Partitur, die für das Spiel vom Heiligen Blut in Brügge geschrieben wurde. Meulemans dirigierte dieses Werk mit großem Erfolg über fünfzig Mal. In diesem riesenhaften Gesamtwerk ist die überraschend große Anzahl Konzerte besonders augenfällig, womit er ungefähr jedes der gängigen Orchesterinstrumente bedachte. Seine Tätigkeit als Leiter des Rundfunkorchesters regte das Schreiben von konzertanten Werken an, nicht zuletzt da verschiedene Orchestermitglieder ihn um ein Konzert baten. Außerdem schuf Meulemans noch ein Orgelkonzert, zwei Klavierkonzerte und eines für zwei Klaviere.

    PB 1 WWW.PHAEDRACD.COM · 1992 - 2012 Phaedra’s Whys and Wherefores !is catalog simultaneously lists and celebrates the achievements of Phaedra in the twenty years of its existence. At "rst blush publishing just over one hundred CDs in twenty years time may not look impressive. But it is very impressive, as you will see once you know the whys and wherefores of Phaedra. It is the purpose of this introduction to tell you about them. In spite of the .com extension in the URL of its website (www.phaedracd.com), Phaedra is not a commercial undertaking. It is part of a non-pro"t organization, Klassieke Concerten vzw. It was started by one man, and it still is almost entirely the work of one man. He has no sta#, not even a part-time secretary. His o$ce is a room in his house; his storage space, another room. He does everything himself. He decides which music Phaedra will publish, often searching out totally unknown works, including quite a few that are available only as manuscripts. He chooses the performers, in consultation with the composers if these are still alive. He takes care of the logistics of the recording sessions, and of the production process, of the covers and booklets as well as of the CDs proper. He is in charge of all publicity and of marketing Phaedra. It is impossible to justly evaluate the achievements of Phaedra without knowing it is a one-man operation. Like most Flemish non-pro"t organizations, it is also a shoestring operation.
