Frank Martin's Mass
Frank Martin's Double Choir Mass ranks among the most beautiful choral works ever composed. With these performances, the Netherlands Chamber Choir commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the passing of this influential Swiss composer, who lived in Naarden for a long time.
As a tribute, the Netherlands Chamber Choir also presents Martin's enchanting Songs of Ariel, which he composed in 1950 for the Netherlands Chamber Choir. Martin's ingenious sounds are complemented by the profound Quatre motets pour un temps de pénitence by Francis Poulenc, another composer with whom the Netherlands Chamber Choir maintained warm ties.
