AIR4SIX - Erfklank: romantic vocal gems from Flanders - Erpe-Mere

Erfklank: romantic vocal gems from Flanders

Sometimes the greatest discovery is right under your nose! With Erfklank, Air4Six visits a little-exposed chapter in Belgian music history: the intimate a cappella music of composers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Works by Peter Benoit, Jef Van Hoof, August de Boeck, Arthur Meulemans, Jef and cousin Edgar Tinel, among others, swing back and forth between romantic intensity and technical refinement. Each and every one of these spine-tingling songs testifies to the unique talent of these composers to transform love for their mother tongue into universal emotions. Erfklank is not a museum showcase, but an exciting rediscovery of music that connects us – with history, with the future, and with each other. Program

Music by P. Benoit, J. Van Hoof, A. de Boeck, A. Meulemans, E. Tinel, P. Gilson, and others
