Concert Fokker organ | 2021-12-12, 11.00 hours | Small Hall - Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam

The contemporaries of Badings


Award-winning organ player Laurens de Man is back in the Small Hall of the Muziekgebouw as the second organist of the Fokker organ. This time the contemporaries of Henk Badings are central. In addition to a work for the 31-tone organ by Badings himself, a composer who composed a relatively large number of works in 31-tone temperament, the program includes organ and piano works by Dutch composers such as Willem Pijper, Hendrik Andriessen, Peter Schat, Jan Koetsier and Rudolf Escher, which are all performed in meantone temperament. How do the works of these composers, who composed music at a time when the first permanent repertoire of the Fokker organ was written, actually sound?
During this concert, multiple prize winner Laurens de Man sketches a picture of the stylistic differences and similarities between the composers who were musically active around mid 20th century. Of course, most of these compositions are for the conventional twelve notes of the keyboard. However, this Sunday morning all music will be performed in meantone tuning, a tuning that was common in the Renaissance. This fact alone makes the concert special. In addition to works for solo organ, Laurens de Man is accompanied on a few pieces by the excellent oboist Inge Ariesen.
