As you can see I do many things in music, solo, but mostly in ensembles. Ensemblesinging, especially early music ensemblesinging, to me is a vocation. It requires a special way of listening and stylespecific vocal techniques. Also, often you need to learn how to read the original notation and how to transcribe that to modern music notation. These things I love to do so much, that I also enjoy teaching them to others.In my work as a singer and teacher of early music I enjoy very much the connection the musician makes with his or her surroundings. That is, the connection with the audience, which is what most people think of first, but also the connection between yourself and the rest of the ensemble and the connection with the universe, with what is bigger than us, or if you want to call it that way, with God.Early music, more specific medieval music, renaissance music and music of the (early) baroque, often is religious or at least has its origin in a culture with a deep spiritual or religious awareness. I believe this is the magic of this music and that my performance of it depends on my understanding of its backgrounds. Moreover, both the language and the compositional structures are important to understand and analyse in order to perform this music as close to the original idea as possible.

This manuscript belongs to the collection of Museum Prinsenhof in Delft (NL). The building of the museum used to be a convent of sisters of the Third Order, the Agatha Convent. The manuscript contains chant used in the entrance rituals for the novices. Ensemble Trigon is the first to sing and record parts of this manuscript. The recordings can now be heard in one of the exposition rooms of the museum. Music - News Sun, 14 Oct 2007 19:11:10 +0100
