Sweelinck according to Sarah Neutkens

As inspiration for her new work, Neutkens looked at Sweelinck’s vocal side. Four singers of the Nederlands Kamerkoor will sing the premiere. “I used a psalm text that Sweelinck also set to music, In te Domine speravi. That text is about hope, something that I think fits in these times.”
Neutkens has worked with singers of the Nederlands Kamerkoor in the past. The documentary The Camp of Sarah Neutkens follows her while she stays on Vlieland and writes music, at the invitation of the festival Into The Great Wide Open. “That collaboration tasted like more. The Nederlands Kamerkoor is one of the top choirs in the Netherlands, so it’s a treat that four singers are going to sing my music.”
“As a composer, I am not someone who gets very involved with the musicians during rehearsals. I like to leave the singers free to interpret the music. Music starts to flourish when the musicians start working on it.”
