Vetera Et Nova, Op. 3
for carillon, violin and electronics
"Vetera Et Nova" was commissioned by the City Carillonneur of Enschede, Esther Schopman. It is a piece in concert length which is written specifically for the City Carillon of Enschede, a solo violin and electronics (2 modular synthesizers, 2 tape machines, 2 digital synth setups). The première took place on the 04.06.2023 in Enschede.
As the title suggests, the piece is opposing the old and the new, putting the very old instrument of the carillon in a contemporary context and featuring a sonic development from simplicity to dystopia by manipulating the traditional instruments more and more through the electronics.
Demut, Op. 2
for mixed choir, string quartet and carillon
"Demut" was written as the final outcome of my master studies. Musical concepts evolving around topics such as "time", "silence" and "eternity", as well as a respectful attitude towards the sacred in the arts, were a constant focus in my studies and continue to be in my musical practice. "Demut", was written based on these topics and inspired by eastern orthodox traditions and spirituality. It is composed for string quartet, mixed choir and carillon and it was premiered on the 11.06.2022 in the Grote Kerk in Enschede (NL). The performance was organized together with Wilminktheater, carillonneur Esther Schopman and conductor Jurriaan Poesse. You may listen to the full concert with the video on the left.
