Photonen sings Amore & Addio

Photonen performs Amore & Addio! in the Dominicuskerk. Various aspects of love are sung in renaissance, early baroque and fine contemporary music. Ardent infatuation, surrender, melancholy and love of the spiritual resonate in compositions by Monteverdi, Palestrina, Tavener, Górecki, and Dutch composers Kleppe and Wantenaar. Conductor: Jeroen Spitteler. Soloist: Marien van Staalen (cello).

Choir & cello

Photonen and cellist Marien van Staalen enter into a duet twice: in Svyati (Churchslavonic) by Tavener, and in Tant que mes yeus by renowned young Dutch composer Mathilde Wantenaar. During a short intermezzo, the cellist also plays an Indian raga around the theme of love.

Palestrina & Górecki

Other pieces are sung a cappella, such as Lugebat David Absalon by Gombert, Totus Tuus by Górecki and parts of Palestrina’s mass Nasce la gioia mia. Infatuation sparkles in Monteverdi's madrigals and in the setting of a Jan Hanlo poem by composer Joost Kleppe. Conductor Jeroen Spitteler states: 'Kleppe has a special gift to set Dutch poetry to music. This piece is a colourful imagination and a recital in one'.
