Info for Treur Nederland! Rampliederen Door De Eeuwen Heen

When people are affected by a disaster, they often seek comfort. There is a long tradition of disaster songs: by singing together people sought support from each other.

Lotte Jensen (Professor of Dutch Cultural and Literary History at Radboud University in Nijmegen) investigates the emotional impact of disasters and the creation of a national identity in the Netherlands and came across songs about fires, floods, drought and insect plagues. Camerata Trajectina brings this tradition of the Dutch disaster song to life.

About the plague and corona, about the St. Elizabeth’s Flood in 1421 and the Flood of 1953: singing about disasters is timeless. Camerata Trajectina has made a fascinating overview, from devotional lyrics to psalm melodies but also cabaret-like songs from the 1920s. An expressive melodrama by Hendrik Badings and mesmerizing chorales from the Evangelische Liedbundel from 1806.

The functions of these lyrics are diverse; to evoke awareness of sin or as a news outlet, for youth education or for fundraising. This album shows how people in the Netherlands dealt with major disasters and what a comforting and connecting role music played in this.

Camerata Trajectina

Camerata Trajectina
has been a warm advocate of Dutch music from the Middle Ages to the Golden Age for over forty years. The ensemble was awarded the Visser Neerlandia Cultuurprijs for this in 2014. The ensemble's greatest asset is its unique combination of intensive scientific research and spontaneous performances. The ensemble participated in numerous editions of the Holland Early Music Festival Utrecht, gave hundreds of concerts in the Netherlands and Flanders, and toured Europe and beyond. The ensemble regularly listened to national commemorations, such as those of the Union of Utrecht (1979), Willem van Oranje (1984), Constantijn Huygens (1987), the Peace of Münster (1998) and the Calvijn Year (2009).

This album contains no booklet.
