Silence #25: Requiem for the Oude Kerk
Silence #25 was a contemporary requiem that echoed various musical traditions. For instance, from the old Catholic musical tradition, the Gregorian 'Dies Irae' and 'Lux Aeterna' was performed, as well as Psalm 22, 5 and 121 by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621). Three compositions by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt (1935) were also played: 'Es sang vor langen Jahren', 'Wallfahrtslied' and 'My heart is in the Highlands' - all contemporary reflections on memory and longing.
